All they can do is ask you to click yes or no if you're 18+. Weird that they would target OF, which requires you to make an account to access content and most models require a subscription to access nsfw content. Meanwhile, there are an endless number of sites that they can access porn without any barrier to entry.
You can't even subscribe to free pages without a credit card on file. Large porn companies have the strictest verification requirements since the pornhub disaster in 2021. If a model uploads a video to Onlyfans with someone else's VOICE in it without a full consent form, they can be permanently banned from the platform. It's the smaller, less regulated sites that are pumping out the shady shit.
No... no we don't, they've tried several times, including remake of the original IIRC, the magic is gone without Al Lowe and he's pushing 80 now.
I bought Love for Sail from K-Mart back in the day at 15.
Can literally go on Google and type (x rated description) and it'll show up in photos. At some point, we have to acknowledge it's up to the parents to monitor their children's computer access. But, then kids just gonna find forest porn. I think us older folk will get the reference.
I'm genuinely upset that my generation missed out on forest porn, I'm sure the mags would have been gross as shit sitting in a forest, but still, that seems like a social experience that would have been interesting to have.
Me and my buddy stole porn magazines from his step dad and were so worried we were going to get caught we put them in a garbage bag and buried them in the woods and would go dig em up whenever we wanted to look at them lmao
It seems like this needs to be studied by anthropologists because of how widespread it seemed to be. People hid their pornography in the woods! And it was a widespread phenomenon.
Yea and it's hilarious now seeing how common it was because back then (this wasn't THAT long ago lol I'm 37 so mid/late 90s) no one told us to do that. It was just like an instinctual thing haha like we don't wanna get caught with this, better bury it in the woods lmao
> do that. It was just like an instinctual thing haha like we don't wanna get caught with this, better bury it in the woods lmao
I remember my brother and his friends always found waterlogged really awful pornography magazines in the woods and they'd all stand around in the alley looking at them.
There has to be something about hiding the stash of pornography that caused this. That has to be innate in some way that we don't see because of computers. It's like the natural world version of a folder on a computer that says "tax papers"
I got 2 kids, them seeing porn is so far down my list of worries I don't think it even makes the list.
I worry about dropping them off at school and not seeing them again. Thats a REAL issue
OnlyFans is a source of particular ire to sex work abolitionists, because it's where you can pay a worker directly with OnlyFans getting a merely ludicrous 20% cut instead of dictating the terms of production and stealing all the profits like a regular studio.
But you forgot the important part: OnlyFans was letting young, sexually adventurous women make Lambo money.
They can’t let that happen. The only way youthful coeds are allowed to see the inside of a yacht is as a sex pet to a rich asshole.
> All they can do is ask you to click yes or no if you're 18+.
A bunch of US states just changed laws so that you have to do more than that. One time ID checks are now required for many states.
The UK government tried for ages to do the same thing but failed because it couldn’t find a secure way to verify people’s age online without it being a privacy nightmare.
I think it's only a handful of states (most of which are red or maybe purple) that currently have these laws, and they are easily circumvented through VPN (hell, I've even heard that at least in some of them just using your phones mobile internet is enough to bypass them, and smaller and more shadier sites aren't complying anyway).
Although more and more states are passing them, so the number will increase.
It’s not OF issue, it’s a stupid dumbass parent’s issue.
To generally get access to an OF creator’s account, not only do you need to make an account, but also have to enter card information in order to subscribe to the various OF creators on the platform.
Majority are not free, so parents should be watching this shit anyways, especially if they suddenly see an OF subscription charge on their card.
Yeah I saw that recently. Saw that someone I used to see on youtube had a free OF and thought well since it's free... asked for a card and I was like never mind.
Yup.
So tired of everyone else being punished because the iPad parents want both their children to have 24/7 unmonitored access while also having their Puritan bullshit fantasy world.
Start slapping these parents with neglect charges. Also, stop enabling the right-wing who want to ban pornography and lock anyone up who produces or distributes it ([Page 5 of Project 2025](https://i.imgur.com/aarmJd7.png)).
As someone who worked in credit card disputes, it amazes me how little parents pay attention to what their kids do. A lot of electronic devices nowadays have ways for you to put in a password, pin number, or fingerprint scan before a purchase can be made, yet no one does it. Even when a news article makes headlines talking about how a child spent thousands of dollars on Roblox without there parent knowing.
This is why they’re taking flavors away from those of us who vape.
Kids access.
Parents do nothing or don’t even know.
Suddenly Uncle Sam’s hand slaps us and it’s all over.
Starbucks best beware. Big caffeine is the next domino to fall.
My boss would love it if I did meth, bro
That would mean no 30 minutes lunch break, just 86 minutes of lunch break to do meth
But he would also never be looking for someone to work a double on Saturday
Just gimme Sunday and a few Xanax and Oxy to heal my mind body and soul and I'll be there Monday at 4am.
In all seriousness - YES, IT SHOULD ALL BE LEGAL, CLEAN, REGULATED, TAXED, and maybe I'd only feel like doing a 16th a week instead of a 16th per shot nameen
I know NYC passed a law for that not too long ago. Tho actual enforcement seems to be rare, as long as you don’t look like a 10 year old. Funny enough here in VA, I was at a wegman’s a couple weeks ago and saw some kids who I think were between 10 and 13 walk in and buy energy drinks. They got ghost which are 200mg and they even read and acknowledged that.
Also on a side note, I got asked for ID at a GNC for buying energy drinks because the guy thought I looked young. I’m 25.
Yeah, wwwwwaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy more underaged kids are getting free unrestricted porn from www.reddit.com
Reddit is probably a leader in giving kids free porn
Hell I was finding free porn at 13 on dial-up without issue. And as a kid I found porn mags at a construction site.
For as long as porn has existed, kids have had ways to get it.
These hypocritical prudes act like they weren't also horny pubescent little shits when they were that age. It's definitely a good idea to put a little bit of an age restriction on things, but man is it irritating when these conservative fucks act like pictures of titties are as dangerous as black tar heroin.
Dude when I was in like 7th grade in like 2002 my dad was helping me research creating a business for a project we were doing in school. He typed "Taco Stand" into yahoo and like the first link that popped up was a mexican chick spreading her vagina.
I had unfettered access to the internet from a young age. I don't have kids, but I feel like it wouldn't be fair if I restricted my future children in ways that I wasn't. I turned out fine and healthy with a lot of knowledge about the world, I'm sure they can make it through all the same.
We are trained to shut off their brains when we hear "to protect the children". The goal isn't actually to protect kids. "To Protect the children" is almost always a rouse to cover up the curbing of freedom and privacy.
This cartoon is more than 20 years old now:
https://www.prosebeforehos.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/control-internet-speech-cartoon.png
I understand that, and you understand that, but there's a person in this very thread claiming teen girls are talking to old men on OnlyFans at school, as if that was a thing that actually happens
If you shout “I’M LOOKING OUT FOR THE KIDS” loudly and often enough, you can convince a bunch of self-righteous parents to agree with anything you say, fake morality be damned.
I always just wonder who are these people? Seriously? In the “I have tweens and teens who might start browsing porn sites” parent demographic, who are now the older millennials and younger GenX’er range, I mean c’mon didn’t basically everyone do the exact same shit when they were that age? I sure did, and all my friends did growing up.
Hell, I am the “tween parent” age now and I used to pirate the spice channel with cable black boxes ordered from magazine ads when I was in middle school. That one kid who snuck into his dad’s porno stash and handed out stuff. Or someone had hustler magazines, or whatever right? I even remember someone straight up ordering a 6 tape box set of La Blue Girl (hentai) back in the day because literally no one knew what it even was. Cartoons are for kids right?
Point being I just hear this stuff now and think who really gives a damn? Like sure, maybe throw on some parental controls for your 5 year old being babysat with a iPad, but older kids who would actually get curious and want to look at porn? Be real, kids are gonna be kids, and they’re probably already hitting vape pens and finger banging each other after band practice anyway.
People like to act like children are utterly ignorant and innocent until they hit age 18, at which point they magically become fully formed humans. I used to tutor primary and middle school kids when I was in college. Kids are extremely sharp and observant.
I also remember being a kid and getting turned on by things that were only mildly sexual, like Natalie Portman in her croptop in *Attack of the Clones*. Teenagers and preteens absolutely will be looking at porn because they're curious and they're feeling these new urges. It's up to the parents to grow the fuck up and talk to their kids about it like adults.
It’s not just banning porn. States are requiring you to enter your ID/DL #. It seems like an effort to be able to track who is watching what kind of porn.
Even if they successfully got all the porn off the internet, if their goal is stop people from masturbating they’d have to also ban underwear catalogs, anatomy books, fruits and vegetables of certain shapes, and all dirty thoughts. As a species, we’re never gonna stop jerking it.
So go to PornDude, and just realize how many sites there are. Before any of them decide to do something, they're going to have to be individually sued every single time.
That is insanely expensive and time-consuming for no real benefit since it's not that hard to make a website in the first place.
What this does do, though, is encourage dumbass kids to go to spoof sites that could contain actual dangerous malware.
I would much rather my kid sneak around pornhub than go to some extremely shady websites instead.
As the other gentleman states, this is about abolishing any and all porn. It’s about making life difficult for consenting adults to choose what they consume - and punish anyone who is against their own narrow puritan values.
It’s people who cry about loving freedom and make sure that the only freedom exercised is the one *they* and their white American Jesus approve of.
For those wondering why they are getting investigated, it was because the site had a technical error, by their own admission, that was allowing people to access stuff they shouldn't have been able to. So even if you clicked you weren't 18+, you could still access porn.
You'd be surprised.
Back in grade school I told some kids at lunch about girls gone wild. We were 13-15 at the time. One of them asked his mom if he could watch girls gone wild at 3am. His mom told admin that I told her kid about it and I got in trouble.
So I'm willing to bet it's about 1/100 that think honesty is the best policy under literally any circumstance
When I was a kid, I used this Sims modding website, they had an 'adult' section which required you to click on either a button for under 18 or 18 and above. I was way too scared to click on 18 and above, because there was a picture of a police man on the page, and I was certain that lying would get me in trouble. So the button didn't scare me, but the police did
The earliest porn I found online was a 16 color 320x200 image of a topless girl. C64, local BBS, and 300 bps dialup
Also found a naked Samus Aran in black and white only
Sometime around 98' I got my first real job, steady paychecks. Bought a Dell PC and ordered home dial up Internet... Almost exclusively to find online porn. The first site I found was CocoZellas, pretty sure I had to pay for an account. Not really porn, but lots of nude beach, wet t-shirt competition type stuff from what I remember. Images mind you, no video streaming on dial up.
I started a BBS in middle school.
Someone uploaded a picture of a woman getting a banana inserted by another woman while she evacuated her bowels.
That day I learned porn wasn't all like the family members' magazines we usually hunted for.
Maybe this is just the feminist in me talking, but I can't help but notice we're drawing the line at OnlyFans, which just so happens to pay women (comparatively) well for producing content, and not the legions of other sites that produce the same content, but pay women worse. Further, no kid in America is accidentally finding an onlyfans, but I could totally see them finding other websites by accident (e.g. there's more than a few porn sites that use 'x' in the name, and twitter is now named 'x', so we're all just a collective typo away!)
On that note, you don't 'stumble' across onlyfans. My kid would have no idea about that site. However, you do see some raunchy stuff on youtube shorts, or tiktok, or Instagram reels, etc. I'm just getting flashbacks to the war on drugs where Cannabis was considered top tier evil because it was a 'gateway drug' instead of trying to figure out why kids wanted to consume so many drugs in the first place. I'm rambling now, but I read a quote once that was something like "don't ask the alcoholic why he won't give up alcohol, ask him why he thirsts"
> My kid would have no idea about that site.
Many OnlyFans models use platforms like TikTok and Twitch to drive traffic to their OnlyFans. So if your kid uses one of those, they almost certainly know about OnlyFans.
i was thinking this too. why target a site that has a fairly high bar of entry and not something like pornhub where we KNOW that theres been things like csam
I can see kids stumbling on only fans. One of the minivans in my sistera student pickup line at school has a vinyl sticker with her onlyfans url on the back window.
I do kind of feel bad for twitch and other platforms, I've written a handful of rules and guidelines in my workplace for what constitutes a violation, and I can't even fathom how you would write a rule regarding the innovative ways people post sexual content on Twitch. Like what do you say? No indecent streams? what's indecent? if we rule out bikinis, they can just wear tight clothes, no more tight clothes, then they can wear loose clothes and sit near a fan, or do group 'workouts'. it's a philosophical trap, really.
I'm confused by this headline because even free OF's still require a credit card. I made this reddit account to follow spicy content and even I don't follow any of the free OF's that I'm interested in because I don't want my cards tied to it. There's ways to (at least relatively) anonymize a card and I could figure it out with trivial effort, I just am not that motivated *yet*.
I've seen stories about, like, a kid dropping several hundred on Robucks or whatever bs miscrotransactions, but fucking onlyfans? That's entirely the parents' fault.
Same here... my teenage years was a drought of erotica....this was after sneaking my dads playboy channel where i got a taste for smut...theennnn the drought lol
is this good time to remind everyone to "for the love of god!", listen to adult entertainers when they are talking about censorship?
They been blasting their socials about this since 2021 when OF tried for a hot minute to stop hosting adult content and Texas was gearing to pass its age verification law.
So fed up with the laziness of parents who cant or wont mind their children and instead insist on the world being bubble wrapped for the safety of their precious ego baby.
Why is this OnlyFans problem? What are children doing unmonitored on the internet? Should charge the parents with child neglect. THE INTERNET IS NO PLACE FOR CHILDREN.
Bwahaha so cute. You think parents are actually involved or monitoring their kids regularly... they send them to school for a babysitter, don't teach them ANY life skills or manners, etc, then complain about how the school system failed their kids.
Source: parent of 3 now teenagers that has always been active in their schools and coaching Rec leagues, etc.
Funny how OF us always targeted even though it’s the only site with ID verification & multiple paywalls. Forget all the free porn on Google, Pornhub, twitter, Reddit, etc. you can even post full topless breastfeeding videos on TikTok & instagram because ??? But no OF is the only place your precious children can see porn.
I was just going to say this. Lots of young streamers that made/make videos clearly aimed at kids also have links to their only fans on their accounts. Jack Dougherty is a big one that comes to minds. No. One over 16 is watching his videos there's no way he doesn't know most of his followers on there are underage.
i find weird they are going after pornhub itself. didn't we just see that couple get charged and convicted when child that caused a mass shooting, because their weapons were not secured the right way. maybe that should go for adults that just leave their laptops open or not age restrict on the phone... pick a lane. personally i just think the government needs to stay out of your private lives and seems they just don't want people to be happy and they want to control them.
I feel like it’s not porn’s responsibility to prevent children from seeing it. Do parents have no responsibility for their children anymore? My folks wouldn’t have been able to stop me. Today you are trying to let your kid look at porn if you don’t know.
Or they go to a random porn site, click 'yes' on the question 'are you 18 or older?' and porn galore. Or better yet, type 'boobs' in google and get 18 gazillion results.
I mean not that this is a good thing, but I was saying "yes" to 18 plus for so many years that by the time I hit 18 it felt funny to not be lying.
There's quite literally never going to be a way to keep kids off certain sites that isn't inherently tied to losing anonymity online and needing government ID based logins. The best step is requiring a credit card but even then any security things will be defeated by a kid using their parents card (like say if a kids card knew they were underage and were auto blocked at OF)
Last but not least, you’ll literally never stop all of the piracy. Even if we had the most draconian things in place for every legitimate business, that doesn't stop an uncensored image search for porn or torrents of videos.
This is always going to be a parenting issue.
This seems like a futile thing to target. I'd rather they look into third-party 'management' companies - there are ***lots*** of extremely dodgy people running accounts on behalf of OF models and Onlyfans' T&Cs state that's perfectly fine and that the models still have legal liability for what they post (because of need for ownership over content itself).
..what? Most of its behind a pay wall. I don't see how it's a concern for kids when there's SO many other sources of free, more easily accessible porn.
Then again I'm sure there's plenty of people begging to make OF a scapegoat.
All they can do is ask you to click yes or no if you're 18+. Weird that they would target OF, which requires you to make an account to access content and most models require a subscription to access nsfw content. Meanwhile, there are an endless number of sites that they can access porn without any barrier to entry.

i'm sure they picked Onlyfans *because* it's a large porn company. they want to make an example out of them
*A lot* of conservative incels absolutely hate Onlyfans purely because it can empower women. I'm honestly surprised it has lasted this long.
All anyone needs to view porn is run video searches with their search engine of choice and turn safe mode off.
Leisure suit Larry used to make me answer questions about Richard Nixon. Tough times for a 10 year old.
I vividly recall being way, way too young and asking my dad how to spell "whiskey" so I could give it to a homeless man in exchange for something.
Hey Mom, just got interested in US Politics, “This Nixson thing…..”
We need a new Larry Game.
No... no we don't, they've tried several times, including remake of the original IIRC, the magic is gone without Al Lowe and he's pushing 80 now. I bought Love for Sail from K-Mart back in the day at 15.
Last one i played was Love for Sail.

It was kinda weird to be honest. It was just a bunch of teenage boys looking at boobs/vaginas (and bushes haha) while trying beer for the first time
And mold or moss on the photos
Me and my buddy stole porn magazines from his step dad and were so worried we were going to get caught we put them in a garbage bag and buried them in the woods and would go dig em up whenever we wanted to look at them lmao

We're all dogs hiding our bones.
I got 2 kids, them seeing porn is so far down my list of worries I don't think it even makes the list. I worry about dropping them off at school and not seeing them again. Thats a REAL issue
They were always next to the dumpster then moved into the forrest hangout area. People always passed them down.
OnlyFans is a source of particular ire to sex work abolitionists, because it's where you can pay a worker directly with OnlyFans getting a merely ludicrous 20% cut instead of dictating the terms of production and stealing all the profits like a regular studio.
> instead of dictating the terms of production and stealing all the profits like a regular studio. Like the Tate brothers.
The most obvious and prominent being simply Google. Go to google images and hit search. No age verification or account needed.
Edge is better for NSFW stuff. There’s even a term the kids are using for browsing porn that way. Edging.
Either you're joking or slang has gone in a wildly different direction.
hrmmm that's not what that word means in this context..
I figured the payment required would do the most to keep under 18 from joining
Because OF makes bank. They want some of the pie. It's about money and litigation potential.
On the contrary, they don't want sites like OF to exist.
Surprised I had to dig this deep in the comments to find the real answer
They don’t want poor women making money
But you forgot the important part: OnlyFans was letting young, sexually adventurous women make Lambo money. They can’t let that happen. The only way youthful coeds are allowed to see the inside of a yacht is as a sex pet to a rich asshole.
> All they can do is ask you to click yes or no if you're 18+. A bunch of US states just changed laws so that you have to do more than that. One time ID checks are now required for many states.
It's not clear what the issue is, but it's actually the UK Regulator investigating, not anybody in the US.
Texas did the age verification and pornhub suspended access to the site in Texas. So yea it’s definitely in the US too just not everywhere
The UK government tried for ages to do the same thing but failed because it couldn’t find a secure way to verify people’s age online without it being a privacy nightmare.
> being a privacy nightmare That's the key feature in Red states.
I just run down to the state capitol and use their wifi. Not blocked for some reason.
They mean it's the UK investigating OF
Yeah, and all it did was increase VPN use in those states.
It also pushes users to less legal sites, increasing the problems it claims to fix.
I think it's only a handful of states (most of which are red or maybe purple) that currently have these laws, and they are easily circumvented through VPN (hell, I've even heard that at least in some of them just using your phones mobile internet is enough to bypass them, and smaller and more shadier sites aren't complying anyway). Although more and more states are passing them, so the number will increase.
It’s not OF issue, it’s a stupid dumbass parent’s issue.

You need a credit card on your profile to even subscribe to free pages.
Yeah I saw that recently. Saw that someone I used to see on youtube had a free OF and thought well since it's free... asked for a card and I was like never mind.
Not cc any card including a debit card. It’s not hard to get a cashapp card I think people forget how easy it is to get a debit card.
Nonetheless, that's still significantly more complicated than a Google image search.
Yup. So tired of everyone else being punished because the iPad parents want both their children to have 24/7 unmonitored access while also having their Puritan bullshit fantasy world. Start slapping these parents with neglect charges. Also, stop enabling the right-wing who want to ban pornography and lock anyone up who produces or distributes it ([Page 5 of Project 2025](https://i.imgur.com/aarmJd7.png)).

Thank you! I love having an OF and I'm tired of Puritan bullshit trying to beat me down
This is why they’re taking flavors away from those of us who vape. Kids access. Parents do nothing or don’t even know. Suddenly Uncle Sam’s hand slaps us and it’s all over. Starbucks best beware. Big caffeine is the next domino to fall.
With you to the last one, I doubt they'll ever go for caffeine. Caffeine boosts productivity (at least in their minds)
I mean, so does small amounts of Sch 2 drugs, yet I still can't access them
I mean I think everything should be legal. But I dont think our bosses want us doing meth lol
My boss would love it if I did meth, bro That would mean no 30 minutes lunch break, just 86 minutes of lunch break to do meth But he would also never be looking for someone to work a double on Saturday Just gimme Sunday and a few Xanax and Oxy to heal my mind body and soul and I'll be there Monday at 4am. In all seriousness - YES, IT SHOULD ALL BE LEGAL, CLEAN, REGULATED, TAXED, and maybe I'd only feel like doing a 16th a week instead of a 16th per shot nameen
In some states the boss does meth too
The uk already id's for highly caffienated drinks, wouldn't be surprised to see the US implement that
I know NYC passed a law for that not too long ago. Tho actual enforcement seems to be rare, as long as you don’t look like a 10 year old. Funny enough here in VA, I was at a wegman’s a couple weeks ago and saw some kids who I think were between 10 and 13 walk in and buy energy drinks.

this is the argument Republicans use to gut school lunches. "why is it my job to feed these kids? It's the dumbass parents' issue."
Are they going to investigate Google too? Disabling safe search doesn't even require you to be "over 18".
Yes. They want the precedent to censor anything they don’t like.
Why is this Onlyfans problem? This is the parent's responsibility.
The goal is to ban all pornography. OF is incredibly popular, so they're targeting it.
But it’s not even popular with kids since it’s a paid sight. Still a metric fuck load of porn for free that they use first
Yeah, wwwwwaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy more underaged kids are getting free unrestricted porn from www.reddit.com Reddit is probably a leader in giving kids free porn
Can confirm that I used to use reddit for porn as a teenager, I still do, but I used to too.
Username checks out
10 foot pen is what?
Hell I was finding free porn at 13 on dial-up without issue. And as a kid I found porn mags at a construction site. For as long as porn has existed, kids have had ways to get it.

And now kids free is a Reddit porn feature!
The leader is probably Google image search actually
Shut up. Are you trying to get rid of my free porn?
That’s how you know that it was never really about the kids.
We are trained to shut off their brains when we hear "to protect the children". The goal isn't actually to protect kids. "To Protect the children" is almost always a rouse to cover up the curbing of freedom and privacy. This cartoon is more than 20 years old now: https://www.prosebeforehos.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/control-internet-speech-cartoon.png
I understand that, and you understand that, but there's a person in this very thread claiming teen girls are talking to old men on OnlyFans at school, as if that was a thing that actually happens
Texas already laid the blueprint for the religious right to ban porn from the internet, if not at the least make it hard as hell to attain.
Only fans literally follows all the guidelines they would have no case compared to Pornhub
If you shout “I’M LOOKING OUT FOR THE KIDS” loudly and often enough, you can convince a bunch of self-righteous parents to agree with anything you say, fake morality be damned.
I always just wonder who are these people? Seriously? In the “I have tweens and teens who might start browsing porn sites” parent demographic, who are now the older millennials and younger GenX’er range, I mean c’mon didn’t basically everyone do the exact same shit when they were that age? I sure did, and all my friends did growing up. Hell, I am the “tween parent” age now and I used to pirate the spice channel with cable black boxes ordered from magazine ads when I was in middle school. That one kid who snuck into his dad’s porno stash and handed out stuff. Or someone had hustler magazines, or whatever right? I even remember someone straight up ordering a 6 tape box set of La Blue Girl (hentai) back in the day because literally no one knew what it even was. Cartoons are for kids right? Point being I just hear this stuff now and think who really gives a damn? Like sure, maybe throw on some parental controls for your 5 year old being babysat with a iPad, but older kids who would actually get curious and want to look at porn? Be real, kids are gonna be kids, and they’re probably already hitting vape pens and finger banging each other after band practice anyway.
People like to act like children are utterly ignorant and innocent until they hit age 18, at which point they magically become fully formed humans. I used to tutor primary and middle school kids when I was in college. Kids are extremely sharp and observant. I also remember being a kid and getting turned on by things that were only mildly sexual, like Natalie Portman in her croptop in *Attack of the Clones*. Teenagers and preteens absolutely will be looking at porn because they're curious and they're feeling these new urges. It's up to the parents to grow the fuck up and talk to their kids about it like adults.
It’s not just banning porn. States are requiring you to enter your ID/DL #. It seems like an effort to be able to track who is watching what kind of porn.
Even if they successfully got all the porn off the internet, if their goal is stop people from masturbating they’d have to also ban underwear catalogs, anatomy books, fruits and vegetables of certain shapes, and all dirty thoughts. As a species, we’re never gonna stop jerking it.
Ban those shapely rocks that forced me to sin!
Really assumed the IRS would be the ones to hit OF first
So go to PornDude, and just realize how many sites there are. Before any of them decide to do something, they're going to have to be individually sued every single time. That is insanely expensive and time-consuming for no real benefit since it's not that hard to make a website in the first place. What this does do, though, is encourage dumbass kids to go to spoof sites that could contain actual dangerous malware. I would much rather my kid sneak around pornhub than go to some extremely shady websites instead.
As the other gentleman states, this is about abolishing any and all porn. It’s about making life difficult for consenting adults to choose what they consume - and punish anyone who is against their own narrow puritan values. It’s people who cry about loving freedom and make sure that the only freedom exercised is the one *they* and their white American Jesus approve of.
The party of personal responsibility hard at work trying to ban everything they don't like.
For those wondering why they are getting investigated, it was because the site had a technical error, by their own admission, that was allowing people to access stuff they shouldn't have been able to. So even if you clicked you weren't 18+, you could still access porn.
Which is funny. Who, under 18 and trying to access porn, would actually admit to being under 18?
You'd be surprised. Back in grade school I told some kids at lunch about girls gone wild. We were 13-15 at the time. One of them asked his mom if he could watch girls gone wild at 3am. His mom told admin that I told her kid about it and I got in trouble. So I'm willing to bet it's about 1/100 that think honesty is the best policy under literally any circumstance
That kid was such a dumbass that can probably manage to drown in a glass of water.
“…and that’s how my drinking problem started”
When I was a kid, I used this Sims modding website, they had an 'adult' section which required you to click on either a button for under 18 or 18 and above. I was way too scared to click on 18 and above, because there was a picture of a police man on the page, and I was certain that lying would get me in trouble. So the button didn't scare me, but the police did
I can only imagine that QA never thought to test what happens if someone clicks no. That's a pretty extreme edge case.
Jesus Christ, what is this, the 90s? Every child in the history of the Internet has figured out how to access porn. It's just not that difficult.
The earliest porn I found online was a 16 color 320x200 image of a topless girl. C64, local BBS, and 300 bps dialup Also found a naked Samus Aran in black and white only
Sometime around 98' I got my first real job, steady paychecks. Bought a Dell PC and ordered home dial up Internet... Almost exclusively to find online porn. The first site I found was CocoZellas, pretty sure I had to pay for an account. Not really porn, but lots of nude beach, wet t-shirt competition type stuff from what I remember. Images mind you, no video streaming on dial up.
The early internet was rough. Although I did brick two desktops in middle school cuz of MySpace lol. Porn related links.
The earliest porn I remember involved ET and a VERY large finger...
ET bone home
bonk. straight to jail.
I started a BBS in middle school. Someone uploaded a picture of a woman getting a banana inserted by another woman while she evacuated her bowels. That day I learned porn wasn't all like the family members' magazines we usually hunted for.
Maybe this is just the feminist in me talking, but I can't help but notice we're drawing the line at OnlyFans, which just so happens to pay women (comparatively) well for producing content, and not the legions of other sites that produce the same content, but pay women worse. Further, no kid in America is accidentally finding an onlyfans, but I could totally see them finding other websites by accident (e.g. there's more than a few porn sites that use 'x' in the name, and twitter is now named 'x', so we're all just a collective typo away!) On that note, you don't 'stumble' across onlyfans. My kid would have no idea about that site. However, you do see some raunchy stuff on youtube shorts, or tiktok, or Instagram reels, etc. I'm just getting flashbacks to the war on drugs where Cannabis was considered top tier evil because it was a 'gateway drug' instead of trying to figure out why kids wanted to consume so many drugs in the first place. I'm rambling now, but I read a quote once that was something like "don't ask the alcoholic why he won't give up alcohol, ask him why he thirsts"
> My kid would have no idea about that site. Many OnlyFans models use platforms like TikTok and Twitch to drive traffic to their OnlyFans. So if your kid uses one of those, they almost certainly know about OnlyFans.
Don't forget YouTube. Look up "Try On" on YouTube and you'll see some pretty raunchy stuff.
The linked article is wholly about the UK and their media regulator Ofcom, US politics are irrelevant here
i was thinking this too. why target a site that has a fairly high bar of entry and not something like pornhub where we KNOW that theres been things like csam
I can see kids stumbling on only fans. One of the minivans in my sistera student pickup line at school has a vinyl sticker with her onlyfans url on the back window.
And before that you just stashed nudie mags under your mattress.
If people want to look at porn they should be forced to scrounge through the woods to find a nudie mag stashed under a bush like in the old days. /s
Unlike the entire Internet?
So the same that 99% of the internet 🤔
Twitch will be sweating right now.
Twitch the biggest soft porn site on the internet
Aimed directly at children.
I do kind of feel bad for twitch and other platforms, I've written a handful of rules and guidelines in my workplace for what constitutes a violation, and I can't even fathom how you would write a rule regarding the innovative ways people post sexual content on Twitch. Like what do you say? No indecent streams? what's indecent? if we rule out bikinis, they can just wear tight clothes, no more tight clothes, then they can wear loose clothes and sit near a fan, or do group 'workouts'. it's a philosophical trap, really.
So we’re raising kids that pay for porn? WTH man.
This travesty must stop
I'm confused by this headline because even free OF's still require a credit card. I made this reddit account to follow spicy content and even I don't follow any of the free OF's that I'm interested in because I don't want my cards tied to it. There's ways to (at least relatively) anonymize a card and I could figure it out with trivial effort, I just am not that motivated *yet*. I've seen stories about, like, a kid dropping several hundred on Robucks or whatever bs miscrotransactions, but fucking onlyfans? That's entirely the parents' fault.
Onlyfans is by scuscription right? So they need a credit card, weird they target them instead of the other 627191 sites, or Twitter, reddit, etc.
People have it easy these days. I had to stay up late at night watching hbo hoping for a boob shot on a TV MA show.
Same here... my teenage years was a drought of erotica....this was after sneaking my dads playboy channel where i got a taste for smut...theennnn the drought lol
[удалено]
If they are investigating for that, they may want to start with Google. #1 purveyor of porn for like 15 years.
Better go after playboy too because I found my uncle's magazines when I was underage. /s
They tried, multiple times, once ended with the suicide of Hef's secretary.
I hate to break it to the news, but kids have been finding porn on the internet since porn was put on the internet.
Some might say even before it was on the internet lol.
My brother and I found and raided my uncle's playboy stash long before we even had internet, so I think you're on to something here.
is this good time to remind everyone to "for the love of god!", listen to adult entertainers when they are talking about censorship? They been blasting their socials about this since 2021 when OF tried for a hot minute to stop hosting adult content and Texas was gearing to pass its age verification law.
So fed up with the laziness of parents who cant or wont mind their children and instead insist on the world being bubble wrapped for the safety of their precious ego baby.
Why is this OnlyFans problem? What are children doing unmonitored on the internet? Should charge the parents with child neglect. THE INTERNET IS NO PLACE FOR CHILDREN.
Bwahaha so cute. You think parents are actually involved or monitoring their kids regularly... they send them to school for a babysitter, don't teach them ANY life skills or manners, etc, then complain about how the school system failed their kids. Source: parent of 3 now teenagers that has always been active in their schools and coaching Rec leagues, etc.
Funny how OF us always targeted even though it’s the only site with ID verification & multiple paywalls. Forget all the free porn on Google, Pornhub, twitter, Reddit, etc. you can even post full topless breastfeeding videos on TikTok & instagram because ??? But no OF is the only place your precious children can see porn.
OF of all places?? Dont u need a damn subscription to even access NSFW content??
I bet most of these underage kids are finding OF links from Twitch.
I was just going to say this. Lots of young streamers that made/make videos clearly aimed at kids also have links to their only fans on their accounts. Jack Dougherty is a big one that comes to minds. No. One over 16 is watching his videos there's no way he doesn't know most of his followers on there are underage.
God forbid parents actually have to parent their child.
i find weird they are going after pornhub itself. didn't we just see that couple get charged and convicted when child that caused a mass shooting, because their weapons were not secured the right way. maybe that should go for adults that just leave their laptops open or not age restrict on the phone... pick a lane. personally i just think the government needs to stay out of your private lives and seems they just don't want people to be happy and they want to control them.
My concern is more that they probably are hosting content created by people under the age of 18, some possibly in rather dubious pressured conditions.
It’s funny I’m reading about this on reddit, where I can find porn for free in about 10 seconds.
I feel like it’s not porn’s responsibility to prevent children from seeing it. Do parents have no responsibility for their children anymore? My folks wouldn’t have been able to stop me. Today you are trying to let your kid look at porn if you don’t know.
Or they go to a random porn site, click 'yes' on the question 'are you 18 or older?' and porn galore. Or better yet, type 'boobs' in google and get 18 gazillion results.
Ummm, is someone going to tell Ofcom? As a kid from the 90s, I have always had easy access to porn. Why single out OnlyFans?
I mean not that this is a good thing, but I was saying "yes" to 18 plus for so many years that by the time I hit 18 it felt funny to not be lying. There's quite literally never going to be a way to keep kids off certain sites that isn't inherently tied to losing anonymity online and needing government ID based logins. The best step is requiring a credit card but even then any security things will be defeated by a kid using their parents card (like say if a kids card knew they were underage and were auto blocked at OF) Last but not least, you’ll literally never stop all of the piracy. Even if we had the most draconian things in place for every legitimate business, that doesn't stop an uncensored image search for porn or torrents of videos. This is always going to be a parenting issue.
They only accessed it because they were obviously trying to. You have to make an account to do it.
This seems like a futile thing to target. I'd rather they look into third-party 'management' companies - there are ***lots*** of extremely dodgy people running accounts on behalf of OF models and Onlyfans' T&Cs state that's perfectly fine and that the models still have legal liability for what they post (because of need for ownership over content itself).
Why not just go after Google at that point
..what? Most of its behind a pay wall. I don't see how it's a concern for kids when there's SO many other sources of free, more easily accessible porn. Then again I'm sure there's plenty of people begging to make OF a scapegoat.
