'''[[Pornography]] in [[France]]''' is legal with restrictions. [[Softcore pornography]] is restricted to people 16 and over, and [[hardcore pornography]] is not allowed to be sold to [[minor (law)|minors]] under 18. Violent or graphic pornography [[X rating|rated X]] and so are not allowed for display to minors, and are shown in specific theatres. Some pornography has a special [[value-added tax|VAT]]: a 33% tax is levied on X-rated movies, and a 50% excise is placed on pornographic online services.

==Parental controls==
A mandatory age control for pornographic websites has been approved by the [[French government]], in order to prevent minors from accessing pornographic content. The average age for an individual first being exposed to pornography is 13. During a speech at UNESCO, [[President of France|French president]] [[Emmanuel Macron]] said: “We do not take a 13-year-old boy to a [[sex-shop]], not anything goes in the digital world." Some children, however, have first consumed pornography as early as 8. Macron warned that websites will be given a period of six months for parental control to be set up by default, and if not, a law for automatic parental control will be passed. According to [[Metacert]], there are currently 5.5 million pornographic websites in France alone. Macron also started that "sexuality is built on stereotypes."<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

==Film and pornography==
The rating system has caused controversy. In 2000, the sexually explicit and violent film ''[[Baise-moi]]'' was initially rated only as "restricted" by the French government. This classification was overturned by a ''[[Conseil d'État (France)|Conseil d'État]]'' ruling in a lawsuit brought by associations supporting [[Christianity|Christian]] and [[family values]].

Some movies are forbidden to minors under 18, without the X-rating, like ''Baise-moi'', ''[[Ken Park]]'' and ''[[Saw III|Saw 3]]'', so that these movies can be viewed in theaters and not attract VAT.Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)
