Very early politically committed to freedom of speech, Michel Sitbon joined his father to assume responsibility for the activities of erotic publications and pink messaging services in the early 1980s. This earned him particular competition with Xavier Niel at the 'era. This time of mobilization gives him the opportunity to question the policy of good morals which then restricted access to certain content, first in the press then by the minitel[6] and finally via the Internet.
