I guess you can expect companies to start using the defence of many politicians, just create as much noise and kick up as much dirt as possible distracting from whatever the main issue is (in this case child porn on your platform [1]). They were never going to ban adult content were they. Cynical in the extreme. [1] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58255865 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58255865 EDIT: I’ve updated this comment with a BBC investigation that suggests they had quite lax child porn policies. Do any of the down-voters really believe OnlyFans were genuine about removing all adult content?

I guess you’re just using the offence of many current politicians, attack everything you disagree with under the pretense that it aids paedophiles.

  Not at all, I was just wondering if OnlyFans banning adult content was a distraction tactic (from the BBC investigation or something else), it seems extremely likely as it doesn’t make any sense for a porn site to ban pornography!

What makes you think that OF is any different than any other platform? Do you think they all struggle with this problem or do you think it's unique to OF?

What evidence do you have that there was that sort of content on the platform?

I find that news report to be pretty uncompelling. They are using lots of weasel wording to make it sound like they have evidence of widespread jailbait, bestiality, and incest (a non-issue between two consenting adults), when really they have nothing. They have "leaked documents" suggesting that accounts posting illegal material are warned instead of shut down immediately, and then they give third hand testimony of examples of illegal content moderators have seen. Notice that there is no attempt to quantify the amount of illegal content. But here we are, trembling in our boots about it. > Christof - not his real name - says on some days, he has viewed up to 2,000 photos and videos looking for content prohibited by the site. He uses lists of keywords to search within bios, posts and private messages between creators and their subscribers. > He says he has found illegal and extreme content in videos - including bestiality involving dogs and the use of spy cams, guns, knives and drugs. Some material is not actively searched for by moderators as frequently as he believes it should be, says Christof, despite being banned under the platform's terms of service. Oh! Well if Cristof thinks they aren't doing enough I guess they must be shut down!
