What FR SREN Requires

Key provisions of France SREN + Image Rights Law

Mandatory Age Verification

Platforms hosting adult or harmful content must implement robust age verification mechanisms. ARCOM (now part of Coimisiún na Meán equivalent) oversees compliance with age verification requirements.

Image Rights for Minors

The law establishes a right to image for minors, protecting them from unauthorized sharing of their photographs and videos. This applies to both third parties and parents engaging in excessive sharing (sharenting).

Anti-Sharenting Provisions

Parents can be sanctioned for excessive sharing of their children's images online. In cases of dispute, a family judge can prohibit further publication of a child's image.

Platform Technical Obligations

Platforms must implement technical measures to prevent minors from accessing restricted content. This includes both age-gating and content filtering technologies.

CNIL and ARCOM Enforcement

The CNIL (data protection) and ARCOM (content regulation) share enforcement authority. Non-compliant platforms face significant administrative fines.

Age verification

Age Gate

age_gate

The age_gate rule enforces age verification on connected platforms, preventing minors from accessing age-restricted content as required by the SREN law.

REST API — SREN age verification
bash
curl -X POST https://api.phosra.com/v1/enforcement \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "child_id": "ch_amelie_04",
    "rules": ["age_gate"],
    "platforms": ["instagram", "tiktok", "youtube"]
  }'

Image rights protection

Image Rights Minor

image_rights_minor

The image_rights_minor rule restricts image-sharing capabilities for minor accounts, supporting compliance with France's image rights protections.

REST API — Image rights protection
bash
curl -X POST https://api.phosra.com/v1/enforcement \

  -d '{
    "child_id": "ch_amelie_04",
    "rules": ["image_rights_minor"],
    "platforms": ["instagram", "tiktok", "snapchat"]
  }'

Content filtering

Web Filter Level

web_filter_level

The web_filter_level rule sets age-appropriate filtering on connected platforms, preventing minor access to restricted content categories.

REST API — Content filtering (SREN)
bash
curl -X POST https://api.phosra.com/v1/enforcement \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "child_id": "ch_amelie_04",
    "rules": ["web_filter_level"],
    "config": { "filter_level": "strict" },
    "platforms": ["youtube", "tiktok", "instagram"]
  }'

Privacy protections

Privacy Data Sharing

privacy_data_sharing

The privacy_data_sharing rule blocks third-party data sharing for child accounts, ensuring compliance with the SREN's data protection requirements enforced by the CNIL.

REST API — CNIL data protection
bash
curl -X POST https://api.phosra.com/v1/enforcement \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "child_id": "ch_amelie_04",
    "rules": ["privacy_data_sharing"],
    "platforms": ["instagram", "tiktok", "snapchat"]
  }'

Cross-platform enforcement

Multi-Platform Policy Engine

A single SREN compliance policy enforces age verification and image rights simultaneously across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, and Facebook.

REST API — SREN batch enforcement
bash
curl -X POST https://api.phosra.com/v1/enforcement/batch \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "children": ["ch_amelie_04"],
    "rules": ["age_gate", "image_rights_minor",
              "web_filter_level", "privacy_data_sharing"],
    "platforms": ["instagram", "tiktok",
                  "youtube", "snapchat"]
  }'
