Pornhub threatens to pull out of France
The adult content platform has accused Paris of compromising user privacy Pornhub, one of the world's largest adult content platforms, has threatened to cease operations in France in protest against stringent age verification regulations, which it claims could leave users' private data vulnerable to bad actors, hacks, and leaks. The platform's parent company, Aylo - which also operates popular adult sites like RedTube and YouPorn - has expressed concerns over the feasibility of complying with the French requirements by the June 7 deadline. Starting Wednesday, French users will be greeted by a message denouncing the age verification demands, aiming to explain directly "how dangerous, how potentially privacy-infringing, and how ineffective the French law is," a company representative told AFP. The French regulatory body, Arcom, mandated that adult websites implement robust age verification systems to prevent minors from accessing explicit content under a law passed in 2023. Non-compliance could result in significant fines or blocking of the website within France. The legislation envisions the use of third-party verification technologies that would confirm a user's age without collecting personal data. However, Aylo has argued that the current technological solutions either infringe on user privacy or are not sufficiently reliable. The company insists it supports age verification - but calls for more secure, device-level solutions. "Google, Apple, and Microsoft all have the capability built into their operating systems to verify the age of the user at the operating system or device level," said Solomon Friedman, vice president for compliance at Canadian private equity firm Ethical Capital Partners, which owns Aylo. "I understand that those three entities are large and powerful, but that is not an excuse for France to do what they have done." The French government maintains that these measures are essential for protecting minors online. Culture Minister Aurore Berge accused Pornhub, YouPorn, and RedTube of refusing to "comply with our legal framework" and deciding to leave "for the better." "There will be less violent, degrading, and humiliating content accessible to minors in France. Bye," Berge wrote on X on Tuesday. France's Digital Minister Clara Chappaz added that "requiring pornographic sites to verify the age of their users isn't stigmatizing adults, but rather protecting our children." Last month, President Emmanuel Macron confirmed his support for mandatory age verification not only for adult websites but also for teenagers registering on social media platforms, stating that online networks have contributed to suffering and mental health issues among young people. France, Spain, and Greece are also advocating for mandatory age verification on platforms such as Meta's Facebook and Elon Musk's X, according to Bloomberg. The three nations reportedly argue that the "lack of proper and widespread age-verification mechanisms" hampers enforcement of age limits. They aim to leverage the EU's economic power - with its 450 million consumers - to compel tech companies into implementing robust verification systems. (

Trump's 50 per cent steel and aluminum tariffs go into effect
WASHINGTON – Tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum to the United States are increasing to 50 per cent today after President Donald Trump followed through on his plan to double the duties. Trump signed an executive order Tuesday to increase the levies from their previous rate of 25 per cent, saying it was necessary to protect national security and industries in the United States. Prime Minister Mark Carney says the tariffs are both unlawful and unjustified and that Canada is intensively negotiating with the U.S. to have tariffs removed under a new economic and security deal. The latest steel and aluminum increase doesn't apply to imports from the United Kingdom, which remain at 25 per cent while the Trump administration works out details of a trade deal announced last month. About a quarter of all steel used in the United States is imported and Canada is its largest supplier. Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. The Canadian steel and aluminum industries say doubling the tariffs will have a devastating impact while economists warn the higher tariffs could also lead to cost increases for Americans. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 4, 2025.

Joly commits to prioritizing Canadian steel, aluminum for defence, infrastructure
OTTAWA - Ottawa is committed to using Canadian steel and aluminum in national infrastructure and defence projects as U.S. President Donald Trump threatens to impose more tariffs, Industry Minister Mélanie Joly said Sunday. After meeting with aluminum industry leaders at a summit in Montreal, Joly said the government is waiting to see if Trump follows through on his threat to increase steel and aluminum tariffs to 50 per cent through an executive order. That tariff increase is set to go into effect on Wednesday. The United Steelworkers union welcomed Joly's announcement Monday. The union's national director Marty Warren said in a media statement the organization has 'consistently called for strong Buy Canadian policies to protect good jobs and rebuild domestic supply chains, especially in the face of a worsening trade war and unfair global competition.' ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Warren said his organization will be watching to ensure the federal government follows through on its promise to use Canadian metals. 'That means clear, enforceable rules that actually prioritize Canadian-made materials — starting with steel and aluminum, but also including wood, critical minerals and other key sectors. This must be the beginning, not the end, of a broader industrial strategy that supports Canadian jobs and production,' he said. The Liberals campaigned in the recent election on 'maximizing' the use of Canadian steel, aluminum and forestry products in public projects. In March, Trump imposed 25 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to the United States. Canada is the largest steel supplier to the United States, accounting for nearly 25 per cent of all imports in 2023. The tariffs are putting strain on Canadian metal producers and others throughout the metals supply chain. Last week, aluminum trader Sinobec Group Inc. filed for creditor protection, blaming the tariffs — as well as the wider political landscape and a weak market — for its financial troubles. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW The Montreal-based company with about 76 staff said in its creditor filing that the economic pressures and global tariffs contributed to it being unable to raise debt financing to fund a turnaround. David Perry, president of the Canadian Global Affairs Institute and a specialist in defence procurement, said Joly's plan is 'definitely a worthwhile initiative' but it comes with risk. Introducing a Buy Canadian element to military procurement without introducing 'additional inefficiencies in our procurement system, at a time when the government also campaigned on making it more efficient and streamlined, is going to be the real trick.' He said while the government makes many purchases that use large amounts of steel and aluminum, they're split into dozens or even hundreds of different contracts. 'Figuring out a way to make Canadian involvement in a supply chain be a key consideration in a way that makes both economic and strategic sense, I think, is probably going to take some creativity on the part of the federal government, but (is) certainly worth exploring,' he said. Some naval and defence procurement applications require a special certification not all Canadian producers have, Perry said, adding the government could step in to help them obtain the certification. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW He said there is a difference between the steel used in general commercial applications, such as construction, and the steel used in defence applications — which, for example, might have to withstand the impact of a shell or an exploding landmine. 'Some of those applications in defence, they have to be both pretty thin, so that the vehicle or the ship isn't super heavy, as well as strong,' he said. 'And that's less of a consideration … with commercial construction-use steel.' — With files from Ian Bickis in Toronto This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 2, 2025.
