OnlyFans says it will no longer ban porn in stunning U-turn after user backlash

▤ Summary

LONDON — OnlyFans said Wednesday it has "suspended" plans to ban pornography, in a stunning U-turn that came after fierce backlash from its users. The online subscription platform said it "secured [the] assurances necessary" to continue allowing sexually explicit content. "We have secured assurances necessary to support our diverse creator community and have suspended the planned October 1 policy change." OnlyFans decision to block sexually explicit posts drew swift condemnation from sex workers, who were in large part responsible for the platforms boom in popularity. The site lets adult performers sell "not safe for work" content for a subscription fee.
