Summary
An investigator reported 26 OnlyFans accounts suspected of hosting child sexual abuse material (CSAM), leading to their removal within a day.
The accounts reportedly featured underage-looking individuals or content suggesting child exploitation.
OnlyFans claimed to verify creators’ ages through strict processes but faced criticism for profiting from imagery that mimics underage characteristics, which experts say normalizes pedophilia.
Despite content moderation claims, Reuters found additional concerning profiles, with 49 removed after inquiries.
Critics argue the platform must address coordination between accounts and better enforce protections against potential exploitation.
I was curious, so I googled it. Looks like it was never a whole law, but a viral story about criteria already used for classification. Purporting to be underage, including through appearance, is one of the criteria that can be applied to refuse classification, effectively a ban.
