    I’ve said this for years as others online have claimed OF is so safe. You don’t know the full story. It is not necessarily a more ethical business model than traditional porn

      The main thing I’m getting from the article is that adults who try to profit from abusing children on OnlyFans get arrested.

          It seems to me that OnlyFans takes several steps that make it easier for police and prosecutors to do their job, some of which are detailed in the article. What additional steps do you think they should take?

            None. My point is that there’s a shit ton of abuse out there. Only a tiny amount is caught

            You said the people who do this get arrested. But they don’t. Only a tiny fraction get caught and arrested

              I guess I’m thinking about this from a solutions-oriented mindset: what concrete, achievable steps can various entities take to reduce child abuse? For an adult content platform, the identity verification steps OnlyFans uses seem reasonable; even when an offender uses an account owned by someone else, that often provides enough of a lead for investigators.
