> For creators who do receive abuse, the site allows them to mute or block that fan. However, the platform automatically gives anyone who has been blocked - regardless of the reason - a refund of their active subscription.
> Many creators who spoke to the BBC felt this policy was misused by fans and some said it can incentivise them to be rude or provocative, as their monthly subscriptions come to a close. Others added this made them feel penalised for being mistreated.
Client-side block. They can still see your content, and pay for it, but you won't be reading their messages (whatever they are). Since its send by platform, and not E2EE, the content is available for the platform and/or LE.
As for OnlyFans not responding to "I'm going to kill your children." and "I'm going to rape you." (among others), that makes me very emotional that they don't do anything with this. Threatening to rape someone should be illegal, and threatening to kill someone's children is for me worse than threatening to kill me. They should have reported this to authorities, but instead they went for short term benefits by pulling the ostrich card. Shame on you, OnlyFans.
- bjoli 5y agoHow is it in the US? "Olaga hot" ("unlawful threat") is a crime in Sweden with a maximum punishment of 4 years in prison. 1 year maximum for the lower grade. 4 for the higher one. Time served is usually half that
- mullen 5y agoThe woman should have called the police and filed a police report. Yes, the police are not going to do much, but you got the paperwork going. Then she could submit that to OnlyFans and inform them a crime is being committed on their platform. That puts everything on them. Unfortunately, expecting OF to take care of the issue is really naive.
- Fnoord 5y agoThey could get away with claiming it'd be an 'alleged crime'. The police should indeed get involved if person A says to person B 'I am going to rape you' (especially after 'I know where you live'), but for sure I would want to archive (hide) the data for forensic reasons. In that regard, it might be stupid to signal the (alleged) criminal, whereas after they view the police report they may assume the evidence is archived by the police (unless notified otherwise). Still, by not doing anything they allow themselves being a platform for such criminal activity. Is that worth the payment of 20% of the monthly subscription? Apparently it is. That's an incentive problem right there.
