French Assembly to Investigate Influencers After TikTok Account Ban

French National Assembly to Question Influencers Following TikTok Ban Paris, France – June 9, 2025 – Several social media influencers have been summoned to appear before the French National Assembly this Tuesday. The summons follows the recent ban of influencer Adrien Laurent's TikTok account by Minister Aurore Bergé. The ban stems from concerns regarding the hypersexualization of women in his content, a lack of control over the material he posted, and potential interactions with minors. The video from M6 Info includes excerpts from Laurent's videos, illustrating the concerns raised by the government. "We've seen the impact on real life," stated Aurore Bergé, Minister Delegate in charge of Equality between Women and Men, in a segment of the M6 Info video. "We see it in cyberbullying, suicide attempts by our children, and the violence it creates in society." The Minister has called on social media platforms to implement stricter regulations. The video also highlights the cases of other influencers, including Julien Tanti and Nasdas, who have faced scrutiny for similar reasons. Adrien Laurent, in a video posted on his YouTube channel, contested his TikTok ban. This incident underscores the growing debate surrounding influencer responsibility and the need for greater regulation of online content. The National Assembly's investigation aims to address the broader impact of social media influencers on society, particularly concerning the safety and well-being of young people. The outcome of this investigation is expected to shape future regulations and policies governing online content in France.
