OnlyFans has suspended a planned ban on sexually explicit content after widespread backlash from creators and sex worker advocates and assurances from banking partners that the platform can continue supporting creators across all content genres.
The company had announced a ban that was due to take effect on October 1, citing the need to comply with financial institutions’ policies to secure long-term sustainability. The reversal follows negotiations with payment partners and pressure from the creator community.
OnlyFans’ creator base includes large numbers of women, LGBTQ+ people and others who rely on the platform for income. The site, which reports more than 130 million users and about 2 million creators who have earned roughly $5 billion collectively, is seen by advocates as a safer, automated alternative to in-person or street-based work, a view heightened during the pandemic.
Some creators remain wary about the stability of the reversal, but the decision directly addresses concerns that restricting adult content could push sex workers into less safe environments. Advocates argue that online platforms can improve safety for vulnerable groups, including transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals.
Despite ongoing legal and financial-sector challenges, OnlyFans’ move to maintain adult content highlights its role as a major marketplace for creators, offering tools aimed at boosting engagement, sales and security. The reversal also illustrates the influence of creator and community advocacy on platform policy.
