"Will Have Home For All Creators" - OnlyFans Reverses Planned Porn Ban
In a series of tweets, UK-based content subscription service OnlyFans reversed its announcement less than one week after it prohibited users from posting sexually explicit content starting in October due to mounting pressure from banking partners and payment providers.
The company said, "We have secured assurances necessary to support our diverse creator community and have suspended the planned October 1 policy change." This means the site has likely made agreements with banks to pay OnlyFans' content creators, including those who post sexually explicit videos.
"OnlyFans stands for inclusion, and we will continue to provide a home for all creators," the company said.
Thank you to everyone for making your voices heard.

In a follow-up tweet, it said: "An official communication to creators will be emailed shortly."
OnlyFans' founder Tim Stokely has criticized large banks' "unfair" treatment for forcing him to halt porn on the platform. As described by Financial Times, those banks were JP Morgan Chase, Bank of New York Mellon, and the U.K.'s Metro had suspended the ability for OnlyFans to pay creators.

OnlyFans has been ridiculed for abandoning its adult performers who helped attract 130 million users. There are more than two million creators.
As some have suggested, OnlyFans should start its own bank or even cryptocurrency to bypass megabanks who can, at any time, as we just witnessed, can heavily influence a website by removing their payments services for any reason. If Stokely created his own bank or crypto, he would immediately have millions of customers/users and freedom from megabanks. Tyler Durden Wed, 08/25/2021 - 09:47
