France considers requiring Musk's X to verify users' age

The French government plans to classify X as a porn platform, which would enforce strict age verification measures. This move aims to prevent children from accessing adult content on the social media app. Digital Minister Clara Chappaz stated, "X has indicated since 2024 that it accepts the distribution of pornographic content." Platforms must verify user ages by June 7, or face fines and potential bans. Tanzania has already blocked X for similar reasons, and Belgium's media regulator raised concerns about its adult content. X has not commented on these developments.
