OnlyFans has abandoned plans to block “sexually explicit” content following outcry from content creators and users. Under OnlyFans’ business model, creators earn money from users who subscribe to their content — such as videos showing live demonstrations, performer rants about various topics, or pornographic content, including nude photos and videos. The backlash was so severe that, less than a week later, OnlyFans has reversed course, announcing that the ban on sexually explicit content had been suspended. — OnlyFans (@OnlyFans) August 25, 2021While OnlyFans has been praised for abandoning its plans to ban sexually explicit content, it has also been heavily criticized for the impact the original announcement had on creators’ income. Others noted that OnlyFans had “suspended” its planned policy change — not revoked the plan entirely.
