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 might dunk on them by pointing out that they caved and took away 49 women’s livelihoods (or side gigs). If the women prove they are 18, that should be the end of it.
They are being very responsible, but also it’s not illegal to look young. In fact, I’d say maybe 50% of 18 year olds ought to look underage on their birthday. I don’t know if that’s actually how it works but I’m assuming on average half of us look younger than we are and half of us look older. At least at 18.
