OnlyFans users in Sweden could face prison sentences under a harsh new law that treats buying online sex shows the same as paying a prostitute for sex.
The law, which will take effect July 1, also criminalizes profiting from or promoting others who perform sexual acts for payment on demand.
“This is a new form of sex purchase, and it’s high time we modernize the legislation to include digital platforms,” Swedish member of parliament Teresa Carvalho said after the bill passed.
Under the new law, it will be illegal to pay someone to carry out a sexual act remotely — such as on a live video stream — for the specific purpose of that act being viewed by the buyer.
The law targets live, specially-commissioned interactions — which are especially lucrative and popular among many porn stars on online platforms.
