OnlyFans, which has amassed a base of more than 130 million users largely for adult-oriented subscription fan pages, announced that it will ban sexually explicit content this fall.
The U.K.-based company said it is making the changes “to comply with the requests of our banking partners and payout providers,” in a statement provided to Variety.
Effective Oct. 1, 2021, “OnlyFans will prohibit the posting of any content containing sexually explicit conduct,” the company said in a statement. “In order to ensure the long-term sustainability of the platform, and to continue to host an inclusive community of creators and fans, we must evolve our content guidelines.”
According to OnlyFans, creators will continue to be allowed to post content containing nudity “as long as it is consistent with our Acceptable Use Policy.” The site’s terms currently allow nudity except in the case of content featuring public nudity recorded in or broadcast from a jurisdiction where public nudity is illegal.
“We will be sharing more details in the coming days, and we will actively support and guide our creators through this change in content guidelines,” the company said. “OnlyFans remains committed to the highest levels of safety and content moderation of any social platform. All creators are verified prior to being able to upload any content to OnlyFans, and all uploaded content is checked by automated systems and human moderators.”
OnlyFans earlier this week officially launched OFTV, a free streaming service that will not include any sexually explicit material. OFTV features original content from more than 100 OnlyFans creators, spanning fitness, cooking, comedy, health, music and more. OnlyFans earlier this year soft-launched the on-demand streaming service, which now features a content library of over 800 videos.
Founded in 2016, OnlyFans says it has paid out more than $5 billion to creators worldwide. According to its terms, the company keeps 20% of revenue generated by its 2 million-plus creators. Because it has been a home to X-rated content, OnlyFans is available only on the web, not on mobile app platforms including iOS and Android.
Top personalities with OnlyFans fan pages include Bhad Bhabie, Cardi B, Jordyn Woods, Bella Thorne, Tyga, Amber Rose, Blac Chyna, Rubi Rose, Tana Mongeau and Trey Songz.
In July 2021, OnlyFans approved 114,065 creator accounts (out of 279,222 applications), according to the company’s first monthly transparency report. It also revealed that it deactivated 15 OnlyFans accounts last month after detecting child pornography on those accounts.
Seeing how OF has since 2016 made over a billion dollars primarily as a place for girls to sell naked pics of themselves, I'll be curious to learn what their new business model will be. They could become a social media giant if they play their cards right. Wonder if they'd be as ban-happy as the other social media platforms?
I am clueless — and happy to be so.
Never heard of it.
Since when did our financial system become our system of governance?!
I think the new business model is the CEO is getting out while the going is good.
Users will still be able to post nude photos and videos as long as they adhere to company policy, which states that content creators cannot show, promote or advertise:
Incest, bestiality, “violence, rape, lack of consent, hypnosis, intoxication, sexual assault, torture, sadomasochistic abuse or hardcore bondage, extreme fisting, or genital mutilation.”
Also included are; escort services, sex trafficking, or prostitution, revenge porn, necrophilia, or urine, scatological, or excrement-related material.
Somewhere, hunter biden is sobbing.
Never heard of it.
This will go the same way as when Playboy stopped showing “tasteful” pics of naked women.
Mind you, there are so many pics of naked women online that Playboy would have sunk anyway.
I'm pretty sure this is the current policy. Don't know if this will be further revised or not.
Curious, though. There's tons of porn on Twitter. You could look at porn all day long on Twitter and they're one of the largest social media empires out there.
The toothpaste cannot be put back in the tube.

But is it because of the crackdown on porn or the missed opportunities to launder money that OF provided?
is this the Onion or the Bee???
“Never heard of it.”
Perhaps it was named after Sally Rand ;)
this is why BitCoin was invented...
I’m guessing the ban on fecal content had something to do with a recent uptick in people posting videos of sh*t hitting the fan.
Typical behavior from corrupt governments. If there is a business they don’t like, but can’t really shutdown, they use their corporate partners. Could care less about this website but the world is screwed.
Corporatism is fascism.
Both, plus smoking crack and pleasuring himself.
