OnlyFans will ban sexually explicit content, but keep nudity

OnlyFans, a website known for its racy content and which gained popularity during coronavirus pandemic lockdowns, said Thursday it would ban "sexually explicit" content in a new policy starting in October.

The British-based company that claims some two million "content creators" who earn money from their videos and photos, said it would still permit nudity within its "acceptable use policy," which was still being defined.

Starting October 1, "OnlyFans will prohibit the posting of any content containing sexually explicit conduct," a statement said.

The statement did not offer specifics on what OnlyFans will consider sexually explicit content, but noted that it "will be sharing more details in the coming days."

OnlyFans, which has been a long-time favorite of porn stars seeking to earn money from performances, gained popularity during the pandemic, with sex workers connecting online with customers.
