The French National Assembly has passed an amendment to a government proposal aimed at revising parts of a broader law targeting sexist and sexual violence. The amendment changes provisions that would have classified platforms like OnlyFans and Mym as part of the prostitution industry and penalized individuals for ordering sexual acts online. The amendment modifies Article 25 of the law, which previously included these platforms under the definition of prostitution and imposed penalties for ordering sexual acts online. The amendment was adopted after criticism from some adult content creators, who were concerned it could lead to their "precarization," meaning a loss of stability or security in their work. During debates, deputy Sarah Legrain from the LFI party warned against expanding the definition of prostitution, arguing that doing so might push creators toward less regulated and less protective platforms. Legrain emphasized that such changes could inadvertently harm the rights and safety of those working in the adult entertainment industry. The government defended the amendment, stating that it seeks to address not only prostitution and the purchase of sexual acts online but also activities related to the creation and distribution of online pornography. The revised law aims to limit penalties to cases where the victim could not freely and knowingly give consent. Deputies supported the government's proposal, which focuses on protecting individuals from coercion or exploitation in the production and sharing of sexual content online. Under the new article, individuals found guilty of "online sexual exploitation" face a maximum prison sentence of seven years and a fine of 150,000 euros. This offense includes actions such as recruiting, transporting, or hosting someone with the intent of producing and sharing sexual images or videos online, particularly when done under threat, coercion, or by exploiting a vulnerable situation. Additionally, buyers of sexual content who knowingly and regularly access such material, either for free or in exchange for payment, could face up to three years in prison and a fine of 45,000 euros. However, the amendment explicitly excludes penalties for viewing sexual content created by adults who have given their consent.
