    OnlyFans told Reuters that police do not have to subscribe to investigate a creator’s posts, but the platform only grants free access to accounts when there’s an active investigation. That means once police suspect that CSAM is being exchanged on an account, they get “full access” to review “account details, content, and direct messages,” Reuters reported.

    God forbid police have to do their fucking job.

      The alternative is even more frightening for cops doing their jobs. Could you imagine how little the police would get done if they had special accounts with unlimited access to every OnlyFans account? Personally if I had something like that I would probably just phase out of this reality.

      They want to creep on people. The don’t care about the kids. They want to look at their daughter’s friends or the woman down the roads account. Fuck All Cops

      Sounds to me like they just want to wank on the job.

    Headline should read:

    ‘Cops upset they have to pay to jerk it like everyone else.’

    “Jeff, why the living fuck have you tried to claim 5 femboy OnlyFans premium-tier subscriptions on your work expenses account?!”

    sweating “uhhh… to… ummm… make sure it wasn’t CSAM…?”

    “Oh! Nice work Jeff. Very proactive. For a second I thought something dodgy might have been going on.”

    The headline suggests the Police are looking for comped accounts…

    To be fair: they probably should have access to all imagery on the clock and on surveiled computers.

    Only Fans images are semi-public So I don’t see a privacy issue. If someone uses the access to masturbate or pirates content they should be prosecuted, of course.

      They would certainly love to have access.

      It’s also probably pretty easy for only fans to make software to detect and present a tiny subset of candidate streams for review. This seems like not a hard problem, Google does this already for the entire crawler accessible Internet.

        I don’t believe in self policing of corporate entities.

    Man they really just want a fucking backdoor into everything huh.

      Cops love the back door, it’s easier to flashbang the whole family they found at the wrong address

    Bit of a side note, but why did they go with CSAM, when CP is quicker and easier to say/type?

      “Pornography” implies legitimacy and consent, from what I’ve read.

        Cp is also name for a disease that affects many thousands of people. They would not appreciate this.

        Also “pornography” is a harder to define term, and can be “circumvented” by calling it “child erotica” or “child artistic nudity”, and CSAM producers used them to get around anti-CSAM laws while they could. Today some of the distributors try to claim they’re “just recordings of a crime”.

      Unironically I think that wording is being pushed by the porn giants to not have it associated with porn.

      Though since the media, news and all that stuff don’t like to use the word porn too, it made it easier to be caught on.

      CP is a name from the perspective of the consumer, CSAM is a name from the perspective of the victim. Since we want take the side of the victim, we use the term relevant to the victim.

    I’ve never had an OnlyFans account, but I do have social media accounts. I have had the distinct impression in recent years of being stalked, followed online.

    However, that intensified monitoring seems to have only just begun. NCMEC just got access to OnlyFans in late 2023, the child safety group told Reuters. And NCMEC seemingly can’t scan the entire platform at once, telling Reuters that its access was “limited” exclusively “to OnlyFans accounts reported to its CyberTipline or connected to a missing child case.”
