Millions of OnlyFans paywalls make it hard to detect child sex abuse, cops say
OnlyFans told Reuters that police do not have to subscribe to investigate a creator’s posts, but the platform only grants free access to accounts when there’s an active investigation. That means once police suspect that CSAM is being exchanged on an account, they get “full access” to review “account details, content, and direct messages,” Reuters reported.
God forbid police have to do their fucking job.
Imagine thinking OnlyFans content is better than free content
Spoiler: It’s not. Most of it is even wayyy worse than many things you can find for free
Could you imagine how little the police would get done if they had special accounts with unlimited access to every OnlyFans account? Personally if I had something like that I would probably just phase out of this reality
Ummm, you do know there is a website for that right?
Can't they just pay if that's their goal?
Police is not based around low level cops, top brass wants this and pushing for it imho
It is about control
I’m sure that’s true as well but they will use it for personal shit too.

Headline should read:
‘Cops upset they have to pay to jerk it like everyone else.’
“Jeff, why the living fuck have you tried to claim 5 femboy OnlyFans premium-tier subscriptions on your work expenses account?!”
sweating “uhhh… to… ummm… make sure it wasn’t CSAM…?”
“Oh! Nice work Jeff. Very proactive. For a second I thought something dodgy might have been going on.”
Unironically I think that wording is being pushed by the porn giants to not have it associated with porn.
Though since the media, news and all that stuff don’t like to use the word porn too, it made it easier to be caught on.
If only fans is not encrypted, wouldn’t these cops have other ways to detect and tackle csam material?
Assuming it is not encrypted, what’s stopping them from doing their job? Only thing I can think of they could use as an excuse would be, accessing copyrighted materials, especially since it’s under a pay wall.
I’ve never had an OnlyFans account, but I do have social media accounts. I have had the distinct impression in recent years of being stalked, followed online.
However, that intensified monitoring seems to have only just begun. NCMEC just got access to OnlyFans in late 2023, the child safety group told Reuters. And NCMEC seemingly can’t scan the entire platform at once, telling Reuters that its access was “limited” exclusively “to OnlyFans accounts reported to its CyberTipline or connected to a missing child case.”
To be fair: they probably should have access to all imagery on the clock and on surveiled computers.
Only Fans images are semi-public So I don’t see a privacy issue. If someone uses the access to masturbate or pirates content they should be prosecuted, of course.
