Underage users sell explicit videos on the OnlyFans platform
British subscription site OnlyFans does not prevent underage users from selling and appearing in explicit videos, according to a BBC investigation.
Under-18s have used fake IDs to create their accounts, and police say a 14-year-old boy used a grandmother’s passport.
The UK’s most senior police officer on child protection also says children are being “exploited” on the platform.
OnlyFans claims its age verification systems exceed regulatory requirements. The platform has more than one million “creators,” who share videos, photos and messages directly with subscribers on a monthly basis.
Videos or photos from the accounts are often promoted on Twitter and Instagram.
In exchange for hosting the material, OnlyFans takes 20% of all payments. OnlyFans was a big winner during the pandemic, and its popularity soared because much of the world was homebound.
The social media platform has grown nearly 10-fold since 2019 and now has more than 120 million users.
