Another major company has taken a stance against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
Onlyfans has temporarily suspended the accounts of Russian content creators.
The move has left many creators like sex workers out of income.
Until now, Russian creators have been allowed to remain on the platform.
In February, Rolling Stone reported that Russian OnlyFans creators briefly lost access to their accounts with little warning but the access was then granted once again.
Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian content creators have quickly begun losing access to popular online services.
Major corporate organisations have also continued to block, suspend or cease operations in Russia
From oil giants to media companies and sporting bodies, Russia is facing a multi-billion dollar exodus as companies pull out to condone actions by the Kremlin.
