France introduces bill to ban deceptive IG photo filters

[Lamarquise]

France is introducing a bill to prevent social media influencers from using deceptive filters to enhance their features in social media photos.

Men have been burned by women who are gorgeous on social media but they look totally different when they meet up IRL (in real life).

Now France is doing something about the deceptive practice. France has introduced a bill to make it mandatory for influencers to notify followers if their photos are retouched or filtered.

In a press conference, Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said the new legislation will “limit the destructive psychological effects of these practices on Internauts’ esteem.”

Additionally, influencers won’t be able to filter their photos for beauty and makeup ads.

“All promotion for cosmetic surgery by an influencer as part of a paid partnership will be prohibited,” said Brun Le Maire. “I want to say to the influencers who do not respect the law, from now on, we will have a zero-tolerance approach. No sidestepping or breaking the rules.”

A similar law was passed back in 2017 by the French government, but it pertained to print advertisement and online magazines that published Photoshopped bodies.

Have you been catfished by someone using filters?

A lot of other EU countries already have similar laws like this in place for TV and print.

For instance, a beauty brand can't enhance a product using technology to alter it's appearance when selling a product like wrinkle creams.

Or when promote a supplement with claims to enhance or improve by showing dramatized videos or photos.

Big facts! People have been in the streets for the past couple of months, protesting. That shouldn’t be a priority, right now.

On a similar topic though, on the big billboards, there’s a line written to the side: “this picture has been doctored/photoshop’d.”

I'm sure the parliament can walk and chew gym at the same time.

Especially if it applies to other mediums. It's only fair

In theory, they should be able to but the optics would be bad if they fix this before fixing other more important issues

But those sneaky fucks usually pass a lot of bills when the block is hot, right? You ask yourself “when did this happen?” and the answer is during the COVID lockdown for ex.

It's a actually like that in Europe. TV and magazine ads have to disclose dramatized images
