Influencers in France could soon be banned from promoting cosmetic surgery on social media, with the government set to make it mandatory for them to label filtered images.
Under the potential new law, a photo or video that’s filtered or retouched must be declared so, while “all promotion for cosmetic surgery … as part of a paid partnership will be prohibited” (gambling or cryptocurrency paid partnerships will also be banned).
The government is seeking to “limit the destructive psychological effects” the practices have on social media users. Breaches of the strict regulations, proposed by French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire, could result in up to two years of jail and $32,515 (€30,000) in fines. Even worse (for them), offending influencers who are found guilty will not be allowed to use social media or continue their careers on the platforms.

How do they expect to enforce this?
“ Under the potential new law, a photo or video that’s filtered or retouched must be declared so…”
Will this be equally applied to all sites?
This could get interesting.
Got to love our nanny states.
But I bet promoting transgender surgery will still be allowed. All normies have to be ugly now.
Somebody filter the hell out of Klaus Slob, John Frankenstein Kerry, George Sore-ass, and Bill “Man-boobs” Gates!
