Paris and the porn industry have squabbled for years over how to verify viewers’ ages.

Not the French regulators, or they’d be block PH based on the underage and non-consensual content, not just user age verification.

(But I’m not up on French politics, so maybe that’s part of it that just isn’t mentioned in this article.)

Is it still so bad? I actually thought after their purge and content creator verification process they should be one of the cleaner platforms out there?

I guess to some degree that depends on how you feel about porn, the sex trafficking industry, and sexual exploitation in general. If you somehow think that porn is great and doesn’t harm people, and the PH pimps are doing “ethical” things now, then maybe you’ll come to that conclusion.

Well, I basically think that the whole industry has many many issues, yes. But so far my impression was that, when speaking about plattforms, PH is one that at least tries to some degree to care while others don't seem to bother at all.

PH is big and mainstream enough to care about getting caught not caring. What you see as “caring” is their cynical response to legal action. The pimps that run it are the same absolute trash.

You could argue that’s better than having people who don’t pretend to care.
