Banned: No More Sexually Explicit Content for New Yorkers on OnlyFans

New Yorkers will have to find their sexually explicit content somewhere other than OnlyFans, now that the platform has banned it. The platform has been home to a variety of content creators who provide "nasty" videos and photos for their subscribers, but most of that will come to an end soon. OnlyFans has announced that it will no longer allow that type of content. According to an email that it sent to creators, the porn ban will go into effect on October 1. Not only will no new porn content be allowed, but old content will also need to be scrubbed from creators' accounts by the beginning of December. Nudity will still be allowed, so there may be some "wiggle room," when it comes to the interpretation of what is considered sexually explicit.

Apparently, the decision was made because of pressure from credit card companies. PornHub was in a similar situation a while ago.

OnlyFans said the change was necessary to keep the platform operating,

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