OnlyFans? Not a chance, they have super strict checks in place. Snapchat and Twitter on the other hand are full of CP and adolescents posting questionable pictures. And Whatsapp seems to be the go-to app for groups people sharing links to material like this. Even in my country where the media love to hype and profess the American social media and content giants, they find that competitors like OnlyFans, TikTok, Line etc. are on a completely different level when it comes to safety and quickly responding to illegal content.

Maybe things have changed in the last year but OnlyFans has had its own problems too: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57429900 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57429900

  Is identity theft really their problem to solve?
  - yakshaving_jgt 4y ago
    Most FinTech businesses are obliged to undertake KYC procedures, so yes, identity theft is a problem that private business are commonly expected to solve, and it should also be the responsibility of any platform like OF. They are, in a sense, a FinTech company after all.

      They are a PimpTech company.
  - treeman79 4y ago
    Legally yes.

    Of course. Would you be happy if someone posted you under your name?

      If someone stole my identity, I’d have bigger things to worry about. About the particular situation you’re describing—wouldn’t care, as I would have full deniability.

    IANAL but strict liability could very well apply here, so the answer may be yes.

  People are using fake passports; how far should OnlyFans go to verify someone's real-life identity? My sister could sign up, and I could appear on the videos. This is going to be hard to prevent, especially in cases of 17year olds like in the story where it's not immediately clear from the material itself they're under 18. I can't really think of any system that would prevent this while also not being highly invasive.

    All performers in videos on OF need to be verified and submit paperwork or it'll get pulled.
    - Beltalowda 4y ago
      Yes, but the point is that people are faking that paperwork. So what do you do then as a platform? Do you need to do anything? Is the platform even responsible for this? And if so, to what degree?

  Nothing in that article suggests OnlyFans is "one of the biggest" distributors of child abuse material. It's only substantive example is a single individual who was able to fool a moderator that family members passport was theirs, and that pales in comparison to... Well literally anything you might compare to.

    It wasn't me that said it was one of the biggest distributors, I said they had their own problems, and they did.
