Acceptable Use Policy

 

Everybody keeps talking about how much they like amateur porn over studido porn. During the last year and during the pandemic, thousands of porn actors and sex workers went to OnlyFans as a means to keep earning a living. It was literally a bonanza of amateur content. Some people were happy with the move. Amateur porn does have a much more 'natural' feel to it (as natural as filming yourself having sex can be) and I totally understand the sentiment. Amateur porn seems much more intimate, much more closer to the 'real thing', less fabricated, more relatable. 

But OnlyFans is going to forbid porn. Oh, excuse me, 'sexually explicit content', and no matter how they try to put it, it's a ban on porn:

Do not upload, post, display, or publish Content on OnlyFans that shows, promotes, advertises or refers to “sexually explicit conduct”, which means:

i. actual or simulated sexual intercourse, including genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital, or oral-anal, between persons of any sex;

ii. actual or simulated masturbation;

iii. any exhibition of the anus or genitals of any person which is extreme or offensive;

iv. actual or simulated material depicting bodily fluids commonly secreted during sexual conduct.

So, literally, no porn. Only Fans is going the way of Craigslist and Tumblr. Do you remember those? SESTA-FOSTA took care of those. Cragislist has now less traffic than IKEA's As-Is and Tumblr is a joke and a shadow of what it was only a few years ago (oh, I know some people still go to Tumblr for memes and incel and TERF posts, but yeah, that tells you all about what Tumblr is now). There's an all-out war against sex and it starts with porn.

This time, they went for the jugular: the made Master Card and Visa afraid with the works 'sex trafficking' and the usual 'think of the children'. The banks kneeled and from October on, Only Fans will offer very expensive... make up tutorials? Underwear ads? 

So, why would Mastercard and Visa want OnlyFans to ban porn when Mastercard and Visa process payments for virtually every other porn site? Because OnlyFans is the big fish right now, and they’re the new high profile target of psychotic religious/anti-porn groups like NCOSE and Justice Defense Fund, who’ve also been successful in going after Mindgeek—the other big name in porn—all year long. As you’ll recall, Mastercard and Visa no longer process payments for Mindgeek’s Pornhub, and Mindgeek recently announced the complete shutdown of their other tube site, XTube.

And just like that, after Master Card and Visa decided to stop processing payments, Only Fan's future was sealed. It's funny how porn and erotica, once plentiful online, keep getting cornered by the religious nuts and the people who think they have the right to regulate what people watch. Is there sex trafficking in porn? Most certainly yes. Is there child abuse in porn? Most probably yes. Will ending pornography online help end sex trafficking and child abuse? No, it will not. It's all about control, and you know how religious nuts feel about controlling other people's sex lives.

The people currently on OnlyFans will have to find another place to set up shop. JustForFans is an option, but they take a bigger slab of the model's earnings (it's a bigger chunk than what OnyFans used to get) and I'm sure some opportunists will try to exploit sex workers (ironic, isn't it, Alanis?) now that they have to leave OnlyFans. Meanwhile, grab on to your favorite -free- tube site and download your favorite (probably amateur) porn, because they're coming for it. And to think I don't have a DVD player. I better get one and start buying some DVDs. Who knows? Maybe in a year even Blogger will come up with an 'Acceptable Use Policy' and will not be able to post dicks in my blog. That will piss me off.
