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.

    What a shallow, panicked take. Listening to an “experienced child exploitation investigator,” Reuters did a deep-dig at OnlyFans and found 26 accounts featuring females who “appeared” to be underage.

    That’s not my kink, but 26 ain’t many, “appeared underage” is an incredibly low bar, OnlyFans requires proof of age, which all the pages in question had on file, and the site took the pages down immediately anyway. I’m not seeing how OnlyFans could be more rigorous about this, but Reuters should be. This is just anti-porn hysteria.
