Child predators are exploiting kids on OnlyFans despite vows of safety

  I’ve said this for years as others online have claimed OF is so safe. You don’t know the full story. It is not necessarily a more ethical business model than traditional porn

    It’s definitely more ethical in that it allows the creators to get more of the money.

    But that doesn’t mean there aren’t issues. It’s not a silver bullet that fixes an entire (sometimes problematic) industry.

      Also the article isn’t even so much about underaged users trying to get on the platform to post pictures of themselves or trying to gain access to porn, OF seems to be fairly good at keeping them out, it’s about adults posting content involving minors and that’s a lot harder problem to prevent without literally going through every upload manually.

      OF take 30% I think. What does an average scene make on OF? How does that compare to the pay rate for old school porn?

    The main thing I’m getting from the article is that adults who try to profit from abusing children on OnlyFans get arrested.

      The ones who get caught, yeah.

  Why are kids allowed on OnlyFans?

  source

  • jeffw@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    They aren’t allowed, nor is it legal. That’s kinda the point of the article

      Actually reading the article? Me on Lemmy? idk that’s a bit far fetched

      My gf had to submit pictures of her ID like 4 times with all her personal information to be able to post . And I had to go through the same process to be able to be included in the videos . So I don’t really understand how moniors can post in there .

      There is no article. There is merely a link to some other site than lemmy here.

    It’s similar to 10 year olds being allowed on Facebook, only there’s money and sexual activity involved.

    This reminds me of Russia after the Soviet Union fell, in which nine and ten year olds were offering sexual services for lunch money, because they literally had no other means to eat.

    In the States today, those jobs that were once a place for teens to get work experience and spending money are now occupied by people paying rent. Competition for fast food cashiers and grocery baggers is fierce.

    And yeah, teens who are very pretty find they control their own means of production when it comes to telecommunications sex, so it’s natural they too would want to bypass regulations to get some of that sweet, sweet lucre that defines your power and privilege in this society.

    She’s got a ticket to ride, and she don’t care.

  At this point of social decomposition, I suspect that rather than being predators, it is the children themselves who do it.

    Weird way to brag about not reading the article, but ok

    source

    • db2@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      This is the sentence in the entire large article that person seems to be laser focused on:

      In other cases, minors got past OnlyFans vetting to purvey their own sexually explicit material, police records show.

      It later has interview excerpts with one girl who sold her own material across two accounts. It’s a small part of the entire article though.

    Really? There’s like 10 examples here of children being abused

    source

    • TheBigBrother@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yeah I mean I’m not saying there are no predators out there but at this point of a scum society I think the majority of children on OF are not exactly victims of a predator.

    hundreds of sexually explicit videos and images of minors – from toddlers to teens – appeared on the website

    Some teens maybe. But toddlers? Have you read the article?

    source

    • TheBigBrother@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yes, I am not referring to the entirety but to a generality, in the case of toddlers it is obvious that I am not referring to that.

    Of the 30 cases reviewed by Reuters, more than half resulted in an arrest and at least three in criminal convictions.

      This is the US, minors posting themselves would also lead to arrests.

    How tech-literate are those toddlers?

    • TheBigBrother@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I’m not talking about toddlers, I’m talking about people under 18yo who legally are considered as minors.
