Arcom was alerted by the Addictions France association to the Autobahn music video shown on the Trace Urban channel since December 2022, which features alcohol brands and a festive depiction of alcohol consumption.

It considered that this music video contravened the provisions of article L.3323-2 of the French Public Health Code.

Consequently, in order to protect youngsters, the Authority demanded that the service editor ensure compliance with the aforementioned provisions of the Public Health Code, and that the music video no longer be shown in its current state.
