Washington Times: Women’s advocacy group hits OnlyFans for reversal on weeding out porn

A leading women’s advocacy group is calling out the OnlyFans website, saying the content subscription service has no plan to address child sexual abuse and human trafficking since it has reversed its decision to weed out pornographic content.

“What is glaringly missing is any serious commitment or outline by OnlyFans about how it plans to stop the criminal activity, sexual abuse and exploitation — including of children — that it is hosting and profiting from on its site,” Lina Nealon, director of corporate and strategic initiatives for the National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE), told The Washington Times.

“If OnlyFans couldn’t distinguish between a girl fresh out of middle school and her grandmother … this ‘verification’ system is systemically flawed,” Ms. McNamara said in an Aug. 25 statement following the company’s reversal. “And this problem is inherent because OnlyFans allows user-uploaded content, like other pornography tube websites, with weak age or consent verification of those depicted in the material. This problematic policy creates a platform that is rife for abuse and criminality.”
