OnlyFans to ban sexually explicit videos

[Thelnebriati]

''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.

I thought that was their main line of business

I wonder precisely where the line will be drawn.

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.

So… no more masturbating in female toilets then?

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Ohhhh, the penny drops…

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

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

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

Thanks for linking, I always enjoy reading your articles @TomFarr1

Thanks for taking the time to read them!

Quick bump for the weekend crowd for anyone who missed Toms article.

Great article, thanks Tom.

BBC Newsbeat is sad about this.

'Sex work' is NOT 'work'

It is the exploitation and objectification of women.

The patriarchy has tricked women into thinking this is a viable occupation.

Ffs, makes me want to cry.

I recall reading a New York Times (I think) article about OnlyFans a couple of years ago. It made me feel odd until I realised that it carefully avoided making a single reference to the sex of those performing on the site or the sex of those paying to watch the performance. Everything was entirely sex-neutral! Even the example mentioned was about a straight man stripping for a gay audience.

This is the way our ability to SEE what it means to be female is weakened. Not the only example I have come across, of course. There was another one in a recent Guardian story about the difficulties that sex workers faced due to the current plague which pointed out that they could at least earn money on OnlyFans. That everyone interviewed was female had to be carefully erased.

The other day I was thinking of recent trends which seem to have something to do with each other:

• sex work is work like exactly any work and can be an empowering career choice but only for vulva peoiple
• surrogacy is very much necessary so that 'fertility equality' can be reached, and an important way a woman can both make a money and be kind
• women actually really love being beaten and choked in sex
• sentences for rape are beginning to look rarer than hen's teeth,

and

• the group which is affected by all of those is being made invisible by erasure of all names it could have

Interesting earnings data! I spent time trying to find it a few months ago. Thanks for the piece.

Saw on news and on telly

This is a response to the journalists etc finding, and mods taking about

CSA not being addressed
Incest
Underage children
Prostitution (against their t and c)
Beastiality
Women who were obviously imprisoned, raped. Being moved around
Hopeless reaction to infractions with those making them money getting lighter consequences
More?

Saw one woman interviewed said it was terrible as there's a stigma around 'sex work' and it's just prudish nastiness. Failed to address any of the above. Just looking to her cash (and I mean fair enough most people look after number 1 but I felt she was out of her depth and really not a good person for.. BBC maybe newsnight not sure).

BBC piece woe is me with (drumroll) a bloke selling pics and bids. They always dig a bloke out. Doesn't elicit the same response as a young woman etc...

Oh and it's always great and fun and awesome.

Right... So the whole child sex abuse stuff? That negates it?

The whole omg it's just horrible prudes thing is so old hat.

Women are bored as fuck of people saying omg you're so boring vanilla and you probably are ugly blah blah. When concerns are raised about sexual exploitation....

Nepata

Thanks for that post.

I don't want to sound like I'm trivialising.

That list though. Is the same as the list for patriarchal religious extremists.

The consequences are different in many ways but. The basis is the same

That thing about how extreme left and extreme right meet. That's where we are heading with women's rights. Really fast.
