People here don't seem to realise all this was from pressure from fundamentalist christian groups like Exodus Cry, which managed to collect 2 million signatures pretending to want to protect sex workers and be anti-trafficking. Their end-goal however is a lot simpler: get rid of all porn.

Because the early 1900’s prohibition and the war on drugs has totally shown us ridding us of something there is massive demand for totally works!

    It was not made illegal. Cigarettes are available everywhere. It was made uncool. The product placement in movies and such disappeared, so you don't see super cool hero looking awesome as he smokes while going to do something important. Ads targeted at kids are illegal. Everyone knows it is unhealthy. There isnless social pressure to smoke.

      Now you get netflix movies where the protagonist is ripping on a vape that looks like a light saber.

      There was also a massive PR campaign against it. I grew up in the 90's and there was an insane amount of anti-smoking messaging to kids my age.

    ...smoking was never - and still isn’t - illegal. It’s just not relevant to my point. That’s harm reduction - which should be applied to drugs as well. Nothing to do with prohibition.

      Porn isn't illegal either.

Where is the source for this? What actual leverage do these groups have over the banking and processing systems that were actually forcing the changes to OnlyFans? Shouldn't there be some statements that it was 2 million signatures that had an effect somewhere? And if so, why retract? Did someone get 3 million reddit karma to keep it, and now someone else needs 4 million survey responses to ban porn again? I looked an was not able to find evidence. Only these groups happy with the plan and congratulating themselves based on seemingly nothing.
