Previously: After Pressure from Banks, OnlyFans Says No More Hardcore Porn After October
This is truly strange.
CNBC:
OnlyFans said Wednesday it has “suspended” plans to ban pornography, in a stunning U-turn that came after fierce backlash from its users.
A spokesperson for the online subscription platform told CNBC that the proposed changes were no longer required “due to banking partners’ assurances that OnlyFans can support all genres of creators.”
The London-based firm last week announced plans to prohibit porn from Oct. 1, citing pressure from its banking partners.
It’s impossible that they didn’t know that the number one amateur porn site would receive a backlash for banning porn.
Further, they wouldn’t have any reason to do it unless banks had backed them into a corner.
Someone pointed out to me last time that the “war on porn” seems to be about amateur porn, given that the world’s biggest porn site, PornHub, lost their banking and then came to a deal to remove amateur porn and keep their banking.
Who knows?
Personally, I’m more concerned about the banks playing the role of censor than I am about the porn angle. The porn can only be dealt with by the government, but this program of “private companies” serving as morality police is a totally different issue. I don’t know why Jew bankers would be against Jew porno, but hey – whatever.
It’s overall a very strange series of things.
