” With a few clicks on Twitter, children can be exposed to pornographic, sometimes zoophilic, and even rape videos », OPEN alert in a thread on Twitter, May 3. The two associations (COFRADE - French Council of Associations for Children’s Rights - and OPEN - Observatory of Parenthood & Digital Education) observe that the community site is populated with X content, while the platform American is also frequented by many minors.
They believe that the social network “ violates applicable laws “. Otherwise, the social network could be the target of a blocking measure.Ĭould a social network like Twitter be blocked in France, based on a recent law aimed at limiting the exposure of minors to pornography? In any case, this is the trajectory envisaged by two associations, in a forum signed on in the Sunday newspaper.
A law of 2020, which imposes correct verification of the age of Internet users visiting X sites, is being considered against Twitter to force it to do the same.
