Onlyfans bans “sexually explicit” content under major platform change

If you’re blowing some money on your favourite Onlyfans sex workers, that’s soon set to stop

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

The video content platform has announced the ban will start on October 1 and is the result of requests from banking partners and companies that handle financial transaction.

But wait – there’s a catch:

Still, nudity is permitted if it’s “consistent” with the company’s policy.

It’s not clear what that policy exactly is and the company hasn’t released any further detail.

OnlyFans will be sharing more information in “coming days.”

OnlyFans has become famous as a space for celebrities to interact with people on a personal level, as well as a place where sex workers can post and get paid in a relatively safe manner.

It’s not available as an app via the Apple and Google stores, which ban pornography

OnlyFans has tried to distance itself from its association with porn and pornographic content in recent months, after recently announcing an OFTV streaming app.

The app is available for download from the major tech platforms, and features content around categories like fitness, cooking, comedy and music.

OnlyFans stated that the platform right now has 130 million users and two million creators who have collectively earned USD$5 billion.
