OnlyFans Bans Sexually Explicit Content Over 'Mounting' Pressure From Banks
• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Tyler DurdenUsers will still be able to post nude photos and videos as long as they adhere to company policy, which states that content creators cannot show, promote or advertise:
Incest, bestiality, "violence, rape, lack of consent, hypnosis, intoxication, sexual assault, torture, sadomasochistic abuse or hardcore bondage, extreme fisting, or genital mutilation."
Also included are; escort services, sex trafficking, or prostitution, revenge porn, necrophilia, or urine, scatological, or excrement-related material.
"In order to ensure the long-term sustainability of our platform, and the continue to host an inclusive community of creators and fans, we must evolve our content guidelines," the company said in a statement.
OnlyFans has attracted more than 130 million users by giving online creators a platform to charge their fans for photos and videos. Many of its most-popular creators post nude photos and videos, and it has been praised for giving sex workers a safer place to do their jobs.
But sex work still has a stigma. And OnlyFans is trying to raise money from outside investors at a valuation of more than $1 billion. The company handled more than $2 billion in sales last year, and is on pace to more than double that this year. It keeps 20% of that figure. -Bloomberg
OnlyFans should start its own bank and credit card rail. It would immediately have millions of customers and wouldn't have to deal with this issue ever again https://t.co/6tUNSXwaC3
