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.
The ones who get caught, yeah.
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.
Why are kids allowed on OnlyFans?
They aren’t allowed, nor is it legal. That’s kinda the point of the article
Actually reading the article? Me on Lemmy? idk that’s a bit far fetched
At this point of social decomposition, I suspect that rather than being predators, it is the children themselves who do it.
Weird way to brag about not reading the article, but ok
Really? There’s like 10 examples here of children being abused and your response is to talk about how kids are bad?
Yeah I mean I’m not saying there are no predators out there but at this point of a scum society I think the majority of children on OF are not exactly victims of a predator.
What you’re experiencing is generational bias and forming an opinion without actual facts. Be better.
It’s a matter of common sense… what did you expect to happen with so many abandoned children (without dad, mom or both) with these ideologies of objectification of people and with the easy access that children have to the Internet today. You don’t need to be a genius to realize that most likely the majority of children who are in OF are not necessarily because of a predator in question.
I understand the lack of studies about this but anyway I believe if you research there will be no information available.
hundreds of sexually explicit videos and images of minors – from toddlers to teens – appeared on the website
Some teens maybe. But toddlers? Have you read the article?
Yes, I am not referring to the entirety but to a generality, in the case of toddlers it is obvious that I am not referring to that.
I suspect that rather than being predators, it is the children themselves who do it.
How tech-literate are those toddlers?
I’m not talking about toddlers, I’m talking about people under 18yo who legally are considered as minors.
