OnlyFans investigated over children accessing pornography

25 comments

1. Yes because having click Yes to “Are you over 18?” on other sites is really putting work in.

2. Fishing for excuses for attacks on internet access, starting with kids.

3. 1990 – “BP Garage investigated over children accessing pornography”

4. And they can also access any porn website they want?

5. I mean, they are probably also accessing the hub too right? 

   Is this another scare the public because parents aren’t being responsible and then they’ve another excuse to do something wacky and invade people’s privacy more 

   Heck when I was a teenager I was accessing these sites, idk, I’m kinda tired of parents not watching their kids and complaining about it. It’s your responsibility to watch your kids and make sure they don’t end up on sites like this

6. More distraction tactics from the government.

   Weren’t they supposed to be….

   -Banning porn altogether?

   -Have Boris lose weight cause we were all too fat over COVID too?

   -ID kids at McDonald’s at some point years ago which got everyone talking? 😂

   More distractions.

7. Make porn sites provide a phone number that has been verified as over 18.

   Problem solved.

8. Reddit is full of porn as well, when are they getting investigated?

9. This seems like a parenting issue not a website issue

10. ISP’s can block access to porn/adult websites from your connection if you ask for it to be enabled. Virgin do this and you can’t access any porn sites, I had to whitelist Anne Summers because it classed as having adult content.

    I know how to bypass the filtering (I work in IT) but your average pre/teen wouldn’t know how to.

    Parents can do a lot more if they are told about what they can do to prevent young ones accessing adult sites.

11. See this I’m interested by because despite being 24 I literally cannot access Onlyfans, because every scan of my face they do I’m apparently an indeterminate age. Onlyfans seem to have the most robust age verification system I’ve ever encountered.

12. And kids are paying for OF how exactly?

    Account sharing is against TOS so I doubt Dad’s wank bank is being used by little Timmy. /s

    iirc you can’t even search it, you have to know people’s accounts?

13. This is just more propaganda to push through the “online safety bill” so they can begin to control the Internet more and more. Sadly both parties seem to be in favour of it

14. What exactly do they want them to do about it?

    AFAIK OF is subscription based so if children are paying for it than how did this happen? The parents need to step up instead of everyone else.

15. Why lots of sites are bad at implementing controls to check if the user is over 18, is because it’s almost impossible to do without revealing your identity.
    And of course, users don’t want to reveal their true identify which can happen through leaks or government agencies.

    One possibility is for some country other than, for example the US to host the verification. This country should be out of reach of US government agencies.
    I don’t know how they would validate licenses without access to US government databases though.

    Just an idra.

16. Tiktok has to be the worst app for child exploitation

17. Old enough to join the army

    Old enough to have sex with an adult

    Not old enough to see nudity online

18. I had a look once out of curiosity, I seem to remember they required some form of ID to access the site. Whatever it was, it was enough for me to not bother.

    That seems to be a lot more than the pornhub type sites do. But then, there is less chance of seeing one of your teachers on pornhub.

19. The world would be a better place without OnlyFans, it’s absolutely normalised the link between sexualisation of womens bodies and money for the younger generation of women now.

    Not only that, almost every account has that disclaimer stating if they see their images elsewhere they’ll take legal action.. yet fail to realise once something is posted on the internet, it’s copied, replicated and never deleted from the internet.

    Genuinely think we’ll see a horrific outcome in the years to come when all these young women realise they made a big mistake posting their images online all for the sake of barely making a few grand.

20. OnlyFans seems to be Britain’s number 1 tech platform. We will compete with the silicon valley giants somehow.

21. Are we not over 1950s style pearl clutching about pornography yet?

    You want restrictions to control internet access – not to pornogrpahy.

22. How about parents monitor what their kids are doing?

23. Don’t you need to link a bank card to your account?

    Thats like, way more safeguarded than any other adult site lol.

24. Young women posting sexually provocative content on instagram/tiktok to entice people to view their onlyfans knowing full well minors are browsing these websites is completely disgusting and needs looking into

25. Jesus christ just let me watch porn. Just cuz I’m not 18 doesn’t mean i shouldn’t.
