In 2022, the platform registers one million active content creators around the world.
According to OnlyFans policy, users must be 18 years of age or older.
Social networks have become the best communication tool in the world, that is why many world governments begin to regulate these spaces so that users have a better experience. In light of that, OnlyFans has launched a charm offensive with regulators in the UK, where it is based, insisting that it is not really an adult porn site.
The ecosystem of social networks is very broad, where the name of OnlyFans is, which has been the protagonist in recent months due to the number of users it registers.
Created since 20216, the platform reports that it registers one million users worldwide and has become the best tool to generate money for many people, where in January 2022 they accumulated approximately 248 million visits to the website of adult content creators.
A study conducted by Semrush, reveals that with this number of users, the United States is the country that registers the most users of the digital platform, where in January 2022 they accumulated approximately 248 million visits to the website of adult content creators.
OnlyFans insists that it is not a porn site
UK-born social network OnlyFans has launched a charm offensive with regulators in that country, insisting it’s not really a porn site.
According to Bloomberg, executives of the adult platform have pledged to make their operations more transparent, as lawmakers in their country aim to crack down on the “illegal material online” such as “related to terrorism and child exploitation and abuse”.
Given this, OnlyFans’ chief strategist, Kelly Blair, explained that she wants to change the public perception of her operations as “secret” and instead wants to open the lines of communication with “anyone who wants to come and have a conversation with us.”
“Amazon sells books about sex and gardening. Nobody calls Amazon an adult bookstore, right?” Blair said.
Likewise, the executive explains that on the digital platform you can find diverse content such as content on anything, from gardening.
Recall that OnlyFans charges a 20 percent fee on all user-generated content, so it wants its suspicious critics, including journalists and financial lenders, to get involved with the company.
The regulation of the social network in the United Kingdom is expected to come into force next year, so OnlyFans has informed British legislators that it supports the legislation and has denied that it was seeking to circumvent the rules of the new law, which only applies to sites that have a large number of child users.
“We are vocal supporters of the Online Safety Bill and any suggestions we have or attempt to circumvent its requirements are not supported by factual analysis, evidence or statements from OnlyFans,” a spokesperson told Bloomberg.
In that same order, the digital platform mentioned that it removed more than a million posts that violated its acceptable use policy since July 2021. As well as deactivating around 100 accounts per month.
The UK statute is expected to come into force next year. OnlyFans has told British lawmakers that it supports the legislation and has denied that it was seeking to circumvent the rules of the new law, which only applies to sites that have a large number of child users.

It’s not the first time OnlyFans has wanted to shrug off the fame it’s gained in the pron industry, having last year withdrawn plans to ban sexually explicit content from its site after creators erupted in anger and said that the move would threaten their main source of income.
But it is also that, in recent years, sites of this style have been a source of criticism mainly for not complying with the laws, which is why the main lenders such as Wells Fargo canceled the bank accounts of several high-profile people in the industry. of sex without even offering an explanation.
As well as companies like Visa, it suspended ad payments on Pornhub and its parent company MindGeek after the credit card giant was named in a lawsuit filed by a woman who says a sex tape that was made without her consent when she was 13 was posted on the website.
Meanwhile, other social networks, including Instagram, last week removed the Pornhub account, which generally adhered to the site’s rules and featured no nudity or explicit sexual content.
In conclusion, there are more and more requirements that governments are asking of social networks so that they can provide a secure service to their users, where the majority are young.
