French court gives porn websites 15 days to implement censorship via age verification

A French Court of Appeals in Paris has ruled that certain porn websites are subject to a national age verification requirement adopted under a 2020 French law. The ruling applies to websites that don't operate in European Union member states. Websites Tukif, xHamster, MrSexe, and IciPorno, all non-EU platforms, must adopt more rigorous age verification measures within 15 days or else they will be blocked by French ISPs.
Porn websites are currently under duress via the EU and the websites are presently challenging Digital Services Act rules. The Court of Appeal ruled that: Children's general interest was an overriding
consideration which may justify infringement of other rights such as freedom of expression or communication. Giving priority to the protection of the private lives of adult consumers, by ruling out age verification, is
incompatible with the protection of minors.
AVN also reported on a national age verification requirement granting Arcom, the audiovisual and internet censor for France, the right to enforce age-verification rules.

Kuwait's censors consider it their duty to ban the latest Call of Duty video game

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a 2024 US first person shooter published by Activision The game was banned by Kuwait government censors in October 2024. The government has reportedly blocked the game from being sold in stores or downloaded
digitally. In a statement from publishers Activision, the company confirmed the news: Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has not been approved for release in Kuwait. At this time, the title will not be available for
release in region. As a result, all pre-orders in Kuwait will be cancelled and refunded to the original point of purchase. We remain hopeful that local authorities will reconsider, and allow players in Kuwait to enjoy this all-new experience in the Black
Ops series. Gamers who had pre-ordered the game will receive full refunds, but the disappointment remains high. It's not the first time Kuwait has blocked a game, with previous examples including The Sims: FreePlay and Dragon's
Dogma 2, highlighting the stricter regulations on gaming in the country.
The reason behind Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 being blocked in Kuwait hasn't been officially revealed, but it's likely due to its focus on the Gulf War and Saddam
Hussein's invasion of Kuwait in 1990, which is a sensitive topic for the region. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be available elsewhere on October 25 for the PS4, Xbox One, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. |

Slap the Monster on Page One is a 1972 Italy/France mystery thriller by Marco Bellocchio
Starring Gian Maria Volontč, Fabio Garriba and Carla Tatň
BBFC cuts were required for a 15 rated Blu-ray release in 2024. The BBFC cited child protection issues.
UK: BBFC 15 rated for strong bloody violence, language, threat, injury detail after BBFC cuts:
The BBFC commented: This film required a compulsory cut to a potentially indecent image of a child. Cuts were made in accordance with BBFC Guidelines, policy, and the Protection of Children Act 1978.
Thanks to Mike who reports on a discussion from another forum:
At one point in the film an investigative journalist goes to the house of the chief murder suspect and takes a look inside his closet. He sees a range of pictures of children and religious iconography of cherubs. These
images are all perfectly innocent, but there is another composite image of a nude adult woman in a sexualised pose with the head of the underaged murder victim stuck on top of it. As I understand it, this would be considered a
pseudo-photograph under UK law, and indecent since it gives the impression of being an image of a child. If so, then I'm fairly sure it's the first indecent pseudo-photograph that the BBFC have ever cut..
Promotional Material
Days before a general election a young girl is raped and murdered. Bizanti (Gian Maria Volonté, The Working Class Goes to Heaven), the editor of a right-wing newspaper uses the story to help the conservative
candidate his paper supports. The tumultuous time of Italy's 'Years of Lead' are captured in Marco Bellocchio's powerful political drama which directly addressed topics of its day and even prefigured the creation of the right-wing paper Il giornale,
which came into being two years after this film. In an age of media manipulation Slap the Monster on Page One has never been more relevant and stands proudly alongside such Italian activist classics as We Still Kill the Old Way and The Mattei Affair.
