OnlyFans to Ban Explicit Sexual Content Starting in October

LONDON — OnlyFans will begin banning explicit sexual content starting in October, according to statements made to Bloomberg.

The announcement was made by the company this morning and first published by the financial news site.

“OnlyFans is getting out of the pornography business,” Bloomberg reported. “The company will prohibit users from posting any sexually explicit conduct, starting in October. Creators will still be allowed to post nude photos and videos, provided they’re consistent with OnlyFans’ policy, the company said Thursday.”

“The changes are needed because of mounting pressure from banking partners and payment providers, according to the company,” Bloomberg explained.

“In order to ensure the long-term sustainability of our platform, and the continue to host an inclusive community of creators and fans, we must evolve our content guidelines,” an OnlyFans rep told Bloomberg.

Religiously motivated politicians like Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Missouri) and groups like NCOSE (formerly Morality in Media) have recently stepped up a campaign trying to defund and shut down OnlyFans.

XBIZ has contacted OnlyFans and will continue reporting as more information becomes available.
