OnlyFans has announced that it will delay making changes to policy on content creation, following a widespread backlash by its users.

The content subscription service announced plans last week to block sexually explicit photos and videos from October.

On Wednesday, it tweeted that it has "suspended the planned 1 October policy change".

It is currently unclear if the delay will be permanent.

OnlyFans wrote on twitter that it would "continue to provide a home for all creators".

"Thank you to everyone for making your voices heard," said the company.

"We have secured assurances necessary to support our diverse creator community and have suspended the planned 1 October policy change.

"OnlyFans stands for inclusion and we will continue to provide a home for all creators."

The company added that it will be emailing content creators with further information shortly.

One OnlyFans creator from London, welcomed the announcement from the platform.

However, he warned that it may not be enough to entice those who have already found new homes for their content to return.

"So it's short-term good news for sex workers reliant on the platform, and I would like to see this as the start of increased support, celebration and championing of sex worker rights by OnlyFans," he told the BBC.

"But I think there may well have been enough anxiety caused to see many models continuing the move to other platforms."

OnlyFans makes its money by taking 20% of all payments made to its content creators.

The platform reported a 75% increase in new creators in May last year - when the world was stuck at home during lockdown.

Once they figure out how to legally short the stock, they’ll permanently institute the changes.

I remember Tumblr got kicked off of the Apple App store and I think the Android store, until they got rid of porn. I have to admit I have no idea how much (if any) of OnlyFans is app based, but I can see that possibility kicking in.

I don't get it, Twitter has porn. Does the app have to have a preponderance of porn or something?

In Tumblr’s case I think it was the whole “total lack of moderation” that finally bit them in the dick. People would report shit, but for a long while that just meant you wouldn’t see it on your dash. Whatever mod team they had hardly ever deleted shit.

Vendors need to do more with just modern browser technology instead of apps. The days when apps were actually needed are gone.

I don't understand. Why porn is "inclusive"?
That's the real question here, boys.

Inclusivity is weaponised and once you've re-framed 'inclusion' to mean whatever you want e.g. 'which porn categories (i.e. which deviants) you allow on your platform' you can use it to beat people just the same.
"Oh you don't like hardcore (or bestiality or whatever) being on OnlyFans? You're a bigot! Hardcore (or beast) sex workers deserve income equity too!"

A hardcore ban was certainly plausible but I don't think that was the beginning or end of it here, these companies plan strategically, reacting to the tactical moves in the way they want us to is part of the long game:
"Those nasty payment processors (yeah, those Mastercard assholes!) tried to force us to remove your content, they told us we didn't have a choice but OnlyFans decided to stand up for inclusion and fought for your rights as sex workers, and will continue to be the ally of all sex workers in the face of these challenges..."

^ For all we know they were just getting ahead of the curve they would be inevitably affected by. I don't trust companies at all, so when one says "we're banning hardcore etc. oops not really" I assume there was another motive behind it.
I've seen it multiple times before, just for example "we're changing our thousands of office workers 9-5 to day/night shifts, oops not really", which was really intended just to piss off enough workers to leave the company so they didn't have to announce redundancies.
 
Talk about a win/win - Autistic retards get scammed from their hard-earned lego bucks. Thots all that cash and get to mingle with our elites thus ruining their lives and political careers. And finally, we get a generation of elderly folks who legit have to tell their grandkids that their legacy was "Showing their butthole on the old internet" and them having to live with it, lol.
 
People keep bringing up Tumblr but I doubt Tumblr really lost much from banning porn in the end, it's not like they made money from hosting whores and porn turns off potential advertisers. It certainly was not mostly used for porn, like OnlyFans.

In the end, if someone really relies on OnlyFans as their only income and hasn't learned from this how absolutely irresponsible and retarded they are and just celebrates now how they can carry on their indispensable sex work, then they are a lost cause.
 
Why do advertisers still turn away from anything nudity or porn related anyway?

It's not like the religious right still has a powerful customer base or anything...

Mostly because none of them are perfect at screening out CP or trafficking victims. No major international corporation wants to have somebody with a camera and a microphone asking "why do you support XYZ porn productions who was found importing 12 year old Guatamaleans for BDSM porn that resulted in a death?"

This is @Null 's in for getting banks to not be able to refuse business to him.

Just claim it's to help sex workers.

What even is the ACLU anymore?

What ever happened to "muh private business" and the right to refuse service? The ACLU thinks it's perfectly fine to refuse service to anyone to the right of Trotsky, but refusing service to tranny prostitutes is a straight up human rights violation!

Why should payment processors be forced to facilitate the financial transactions of "sex workers"?
