https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/20/onlyfan ... ntent.htmlOnlyFans is banning the one thing most users go to its site for: pornography.
The U.K.-based content subscription service said Thursday it will no longer allow “sexually explicit” content as of Oct. 1. OnlyFans said the decision was taken to comply with requests from its banking and payment providers.
“In order to ensure the long-term sustainability of the platform, and to continue to host an inclusive community of creators and fans, we must evolve our content guidelines,” OnlyFans said in a statement.
Onlyfans email to creators sent on 21 August 2021:
Dear OnlyFans Creator,
This email is to notify you of changes to our Acceptable Use Policy that will go live effective October 1, 2021.
The new policy will prohibit the posting of any new content containing sexually-explicit conduct. Content containing nudity will continue to be allowed as long as it is consistent with the policy.
Existing content that does not meet the standards of the new policy will need to be removed before December 1, 2021.
Our intention is for the policy to be implemented in accordance with the above dates, but we may need to change one or more of the dates as circumstances may require.
Here is a link to the new Acceptable Use Policy – https://www.onlyfans.com/aup
Why did the policy have to change?
Due to the size and rapid growth of the OnlyFans platform, where creators have earned over $5 billion dollars since inception, we must increasingly rely on large banking institutions and payment processors to facilitate payments between fans and creators. The new rules are necessary to comply with the requirements of these financial institutions and are the only way to help ensure the long-term sustainability of OnlyFans.
OnlyFans was founded as a diverse and inclusive home for all content creators and we stand by our commitment to that mission. We will continue to support and guide all creators through these necessary changes, making sure that all creators have a home on our platform.
We look forward to continuing to provide an innovative platform for our diverse creator community.
Thank you,
OnlyFans Team
