In other news, French authorities have decided that Hollywood movies should be banned for displays of murder, which is against French law. The "contracts" of the actors is immaterial as murder is illegal in France.
Source for this? A depiction of an act is very different to an act. Can you name a mainstream movie in which an actor is murdered for real?
> A significant amount of content amounted to torture. The report warned that any kind of so-called contract was void in legal terms, because a person could not consent to torture and sexual exploitation and trafficking.
The women in these videos are actully subject to what is depicted. It's not acting. Can you see how that's different to a Hollywood movie depicting a murder?
What is depicted in these works is also acting. Scripted verbal abuse to the point where the recipient takes their own life on screen is considered regular acting in a drama, scripted violence to a certain degree including where mistakes lead to significant or even fatal actor injury is considered regular acting in action movies, and scripted sexual acts themselves are commonly considered regular acting in more "artsy" movies.
The planning, execution, willingness, extend and the necessity thereof are important - context is important.
Watching the work is mostly useful in this setting for identifying if the content is outright illegal (individuals present who should never have been) or if physical harm endured within it reach visibly unacceptable levels (as we for now do not expect CGI here), both which would likely (would it be weird to say hopefully?) be traumatizing for a viewer to experience. To draw the conclusions they wish to draw, I believe they need to study the work environment, not the works - and that this applies to any industry, irrespective of its output.

This is the first time I hear about that and follow our French news on a daily basis.
