Rep. Paul Gosar applauded the announcement from OnlyFans which confirmed the site would ban pornography from October on, following his initiation of Congressional pressure against the site in April this year.
OnlyFans, where the vast majority of users are women posting sexually explicit videos and images for paying customers, announced that by October that the platform will ban any “sexually-explicit content,” in order to “ensure the long-term sustainability of the platform and to continue to host an inclusive community of creators and fans.”
Rep. Paul Gosar, one of the most well-known America First members of Congress, applauded the move from OnlyFans as a “positive development,” and that he was “glad to see” them move to ban “illicit content.”
As National File reported, Gosar started to put pressure on OnlyFans in April of this year, when he demanded that the Department of Justice investigate the site for allegedly breaking sex trafficking legislation. In the letter, Gosar suggested that they should be investigated under the 1910 Mann Act, which bans “interstate transportation of an individual for an immoral, or illegal purpose.” It noted that OnlyFans operates across state lines, and “while probably immunized from tort under Section 230, does appear to facilitate and even encourage interstate travel of the sort directly targeted by the Mann Act.”

Isn’t the web site pornography? What else are they?
I guess the “models” will have to be clothed etc. and no pornography.
Nudity is not considered pornography - which is the depiction of sex acts. The OnlyFans career path of selling nude photos to simps will remain open to America’s young women, who are still too traumatized after four years of the brutal Trump regime to hold down more traditional jobs. /s
“Do you have any naked pictures of your wife?”
“Of course, not.”
“Want to buy some?”
The OnlyFans career path of selling nude photos to simps....
I suppose the answer is “simps” who imagine that that they have some kind of meaningful relationship with these women because they see them nude.
He just lost the vamp vote … just saying
Is he saying these women are forced on these sites?
You mean the internet wasn’t invented mainly to transmit pornography? Could have fooled me.
Gosar’s going to end up disappointed.
“The platform will still allow creators to post nude photos and videos, but not any “sexually explicit conduct.””
And other sites will fill the void. OnlyFans will be the billboard providing directions to the strip club.
Nudge Nudge
Monty Python ...
Man: Oh! Well, never mind. Dib dib? Is your uh, is your wife interested in....photography, ay? “Photographs, ay”, he asked him knowlingly?
Squire: Photography?
Man: Snap snap, grin grin, wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more?
Squire: Holiday snaps, eh?
Man: They could be, they could be taken on holiday. Candid, you know, CANDID photography?
Squire: No, no I’m afraid we don’t have a camera.....
All consumers & participants of porn should be 21 years or older. There should be a total ban on teenage depiction and rape in porn and child pornagraphers should get the death penalty.
Journalists should learn to read before they write. The actual restrictions proposed by the OnlyFans website allow what most people would consider hard core pornography. What they are banning is what most people would consider way beyond the pale even for pornography.
The full list of banned images and activities is too gross to post here, but you can be assured that there is no requirement for clothed models and that the models will be doing pretty much anything you can imagine with other humans. Doing those things with animals, for example, is now banned from OnlyFans.
It costs a lot of money to subscribe to that thing. Surely there’s a better way to look at nude, tattooed chicks who don’t wash their hair and have nose rings.
I hear you can buy stock on the internet too. Guess it’s not all porn.
How will these poor girls be able to afford the rent on their Miami condos if they can no longer sell pics of their buttholes on OnlyFans?

Pretty sure there was no internet in 1910...nor is there any ability to physically travel via the internet...
It’s simply a threat by govt to punish behavior they disapprove of (meaning they arent getting a cut of the action) by throwing taxpayer funded lawyers at them as weaponized morality police and financially punishing them through tort abuse by forcing them to expand revenue for a defense.....Taliban much?
This is where the puratins on the right lose me...there is nothing stopping women from using cash apps and instant messaging and doing the same exact thing...leveraging their rights to their own images for financial gain...capitalism you say?
So then what does using the power of the state essentially ban the same act out of existence?
Socialism you say?
The oldest profession is what?...and it’s open practice in DC....you dont pay hookers for sex...you pay them to LEAVE after sex...
Besides porn is free...they arent paying for porn...they are paying for the interaction with a person..who is safely remote...
Frankly...the content of video messages between consenting adults is none of the governments damn business...
Only fans simply cut their own throat and will soon fail financially as users and providers move to another platform...
The notion that sending an electronic image equates to physical travel is pure BS....and targeting an adult website...while real physical sex trafficking of minors continues...is a waste of resources...
A company with balls would have told them to pound sand and countered with a lawsuit based on the 1st amendment,copywrite,and a reasonable expectation of private communication between consenting adults...
Something stinks like a competitor using Gosar as a tool with donations...porn(erotica) has been around since man learned to draw...
Reminds of my buddy who always thought the chick at the strip club was going to call him after he gave her his number.
