After backlash from creators, OnlyFans has announced it will delay making changes to its policy on content creation

Last week the content subscription service announced plans to block sexually explicit photos and videos from this October.

OnlyFans, a site where fans pay creators for their photos and videos, is planning to ban “sexually explicit” content.

The video content platform had announced a ban will start on October 1, as a result of requests from banking partners and companies that handle financial transactions.

However, the popular platform tweeted it has “suspended the planned policy change”.

It is currently unclear if the delay will be permanent.

“Thank you to everyone for making your voices heard,” said the company on twitter.

“We have secured assurances necessary to support our diverse creator community and have suspended the planned 1 October policy change.

“OnlyFans stands for inclusion and we will continue to provide a home for all creators.”

OnlyFans makes its money by taking 20% of all payments made to its content creators.

In an email to its users, OnlyFans says that the proposed 1 October 2021 changes are “no longer required, due to banking partners’ assurances that OnlyFans can support all genres of creators.”

“OnlyFans is committed to providing a sage and dependable platform for all creators and their fans.”
