> Pornhub is manufacturing a product and making it available to the open market, just like Jack Daniels.

Pornhub is obviously the retailer in this analogy. False equivalence fallacy.

> Jack Daniels has no responsibility to ensure a bar is only providing access to legal patrons.

In France and almost all Western countries, Brown Forman has exactly that responsibility when they are retailing to or serving the public, as the pornography vendors are now.

> Because then the same concerns arise -- why should Jack Daniels be given access to my blood just to manufacture an age-restricted product? What will they do with it? Will they secure the data appropriately? How do I know it won't be used to negatively impact my future because my health insurance company doesn't like that I drank a bottle of JD?

Ignoring your straw man, this is exactly how alcohol is treated. A third party - the state - verifies your age and issues a physical token that you must present to prove your age when purchasing alcohol. That is exactly how pornography will now will regulated in France.
