Overview
- Sarah El‑Haïry said she has formally seized Arcom after media found Vinted listings used to steer users to paid pornographic content on other sites.
- Her office said she will also refer Etsy and Leboncoin following a France 2 report showing similar promotions disguised as ordinary sales.
- Investigations describe listings for swimwear or lingerie that direct users to Telegram, WhatsApp or Instagram, then to subscription sites such as OnlyFans or Mym.
- Vinted says it enforces a zero‑tolerance policy with proactive detection and removals, yet it does not verify users’ ages despite stating the service is for adults.
- Under the SREN framework, Arcom can issue injunctions, impose financial penalties or seek site blocking, and El‑Haïry says she will pursue judicial action when child‑pornography is reported.
