''OnlyFans to Block Sexually Explicit Videos Starting in October''

Nudity will still be permitted. The changes are needed because of mounting pressure from banking partners and payment providers.

A BBC investigation of how OF handles illegal content doesn't make OF look good.

Hello everyone. I have written a new piece for The Critic on this topic that some of you may find interesting/informative.

Thanks in advance for anyone who reads it.

Ohhhh, the penny drops…

It’s a regulatory thing, not a moral position! That makes more sense.

I don’t think it’s just fraud risk. In general sex work is difficult for banks as it’s hard to verify payments ie for them to meet their legal kyc and aml requirements. It’s easier to put them in the too hard bucket and not take their business as they fear the regulator penalties because they are unable to provide the necessary attestations that these payments are not in breach.

Bizarre I mean, great news, but it will create a vacuum. The business won't last long without it I guess.
But it might make teenagers and universities stop thinking of selling their bodies to online strangers as just the same as working in a bar.

Snoozer they won't allow their financial services to be used to pay for illegal activities. That's why pornhub were forced to take down millions of videos from their site.

CaptainSmartarse · 20/08/2021 03:05

Will they be checking the age of the folk using it ?

I dont think this is a stance taken by the banking industry, as such. Credit card companies take payments from almost every porn site on the internet.

I believe they aren't prepared to support OnlyFans because of the fraud risk. The website has refused to set up a system to offer refunds to customers who pat for something they don't receive. Apparently it's rife.

It's likely one of the replacements for OnlyFans will be JustForFans, the creator of which stands accused of multiple instances of rape.

So… no more masturbating in female toilets then?

I wonder where those will go so the daring videostars can get paid?

If they're going to permit nudity I don't see how they can enforce it. I'm also curious about the stance taken by the banking industry.

I wonder precisely where the line will be drawn.

I thought that was their main line of business
