When the Paris Courtroom of Enchantment not too long ago blocked four porn sites in France for not having a correct age verification system, the 2 on-line little one safety nonprofits that had pushed for the blocks most likely thought they’d scored a giant victory. However, in a single case, it turned out to be a little bit of a self-own.
As l’Informé reports, the nonprofits went after Iciporno, Mrsexe, Tukif and xHamster. Their complaints listed the net addresses of the websites — however for xHamster they put “fr.xhamster.com“, pointing to the positioning’s French subdomain.
In consequence, the courtroom ordered blocking of “fr.xhamster.com” — together with the “fr.” prefix. This implies web service suppliers have complied with the order and blocked xHamster on the DNS degree — however solely with the “fr.” prefix…
So xHamster stays accessible in France… till regulator, Arcom, finds a strategy to shut this embarrassing loophole.
