What is OnlyFans?

OnlyFans is an online platform and app created in 2016. With it, people can pay for content (photos, videos and live streams) via a monthly membership. Content is mainly created by YouTubers, fitness trainers, models, content creators and public figures in order to monetise their profession. It is also popular with adult content creators.

OnlyFans’ minimum age limit

According to the OnlyFans policy, users must be 18 years or older.

Concerns about OnlyFans

The British-based site became increasingly popular for people who were unemployed or working from home during the coronavirus pandemic. However, it is also increasingly popular among sex workers. The BBC documentary, #Nudes4Sale, investigated the rise of under-18’s selling explicit adult content online. The documentary found as many as a third of Twitter users who advertised explicit images were under 18. Additionally, a large number of underage creators use social media to sell nudes in exchange for money and gifts. Twitter said it has “zero tolerance for any material that features or promotes child sexual exploitation.” The company asked for “further information on the accounts found in the documentary that may have been linking to such content.” Snapchat told the BBC: “We strictly prohibit accounts that promote or distribute pornographic content. We do not scan the content of private accounts, but we continually look for ways to find and remove these accounts, including discussions with other platforms like Twitter.” OnlyFans is also a subscription service. This means to access a Creator’s content, users must pay for it. If a young person has access to a credit card or other form of payment, they may subscribe to someone’s content without a parent knowing.

What does UK law say?

UK law states that you must be 18 or older to sell or distribute explicit content. However, there currently is no legal requirement for online platforms to monitor explicit content that could have originated from underage users. This means the creator of the content and the person that buys it would face criminal liability if any action were taken. New laws under the Online Safety Bill says companies could be fined £18m or 10% of their global turnover if they fail to keep children safe on their platforms.

Does OnlyFans have any safety measures?

In May 2019, OnlyFans introduced a new account verification process. A Creator now must provide a ‘selfie’ along with their ID in the image to prove their identity. Yet, research showed that underage users used other people’s IDs, creating accounts without a problem. This suggests that the age verification is not strong enough. In a statement to the BBC, OnlyFans said: “We constantly review our systems to ensure they are as robust as possible. If we are alerted to any underage individual who has gained or tried to gain illegitimate access to the platform, we will always take immediate steps to investigate and suspend the account.” However, one 17-year-old girl who said she managed to use OnlyFans for seven months. Although her accounts were repeatedly reported and shut down, she was able to use the ID of an older friend to sign up again. Even though they didn’t look alike, she was successful. Because of examples like this, the site now requires users to pose next to an ID card and then submit a photograph holding it up to their face.

Why would teens want an OnlyFans account?

Teens may want to join as an ‘easy’ way to make money. Reportedly, some Creators can make as much as £30,000 a month. However, teens don’t understand that this is a very small percentage. Although OnlyFans is closely linked to adult content, other content does not require nudity or sexual acts to make money. Teens may see this as an opportunity for them. A report by VoiceBox and OnlyFans, commissioned by Parent Zone, explores the idea in great depth.
