‘Dirty Dozen List’ names 12 companies profiting off sexual exploitation
OnlyFans
Based in London, England, OnlyFans is a subscription website that allows account holders to make money by posting videos made exclusively available to followers known as fans.
According to NCOSE, OnlyFans “is a platform being used for exploitation and criminal activity” that has “rightly faced increased scrutiny by police, policymakers, and the press for growing evidence of child sex abuse material … sex trafficking, harassment, doxing, cyberstalking and image-based sexual abuse.”
“Sex buyers and pimps maximize buying and selling people behind the security of a paywall,” added NCOSE. “OnlyFans encourages grooming and pimping through its referral system, which functions as a kind of ‘multi-level marketing scheme.’”
“OnlyFans has become the latest iteration of the commercial sex industry – and a very prominent and influential iteration at that.”
