Pornography: «We must help parents better protect their children,» say Adrien Taquet and Cédric O. This is one of the priority projects for the French President's five-year term. Young people's exposure to online pornography has been steadily increasing in recent years. «In our country, children are exposed to pornography at around the age of 13. Young people's imaginations and sexuality are shaped by the brutality of these images. We must protect them from this content,» said Emmanuel Macron in his speech at UNESCO in 2019.
On SafeR Internet Day, which will take place on Tuesday 9 February, Cédric O, Secretary of State for Digital Transition, and Adrien Taquet, Secretary of State for Children and Families, are launching a campaign to raise awareness among parents about the dangers of exposing children to pornography. A platform dedicated to parents, www.jeprotegemonenfant.gouv.fr, which provides information, advice and support on setting up parental controls, will also be launched on Tuesday. 20 Minutes questioned the two Secretaries of State, who now wish to «do everything possible» to protect minors from online pornography.
