Pornhub Yanks Plug on France, Unleashes Liberty Painting Protest Parade

Pornhub yanks its digital plug on France after a new age verification law, swapping explicit content for Delacroixās 'Liberty Leading the People.' Aylo, the Canadian owner, calls the rule 'dangerous' and 'privacy-infringing,' as 67 million French lose access overnight.
Franceās abrupt Pornhub blackout comes as Aylo, owner of several top adult sites, protests mandatory age checks, citing privacy fears and device-level solutions. EU child safety probes and UK crackdowns loom, yet French users get only a patriotic painting and a bureaucratic au revoir.
On Wednesday, French Pornhub visitors encountered Delacroixās iconic painting instead of explicit videosāan artful protest, not a technical glitch, and a first for the worldās second-largest adult market.
