Irish sex workers welcome OnlyFans reversal on planned ban on sexually explicit content

Initially, the company said the move was being introduced due to pressure from financial partners, leading some to assume payment processors Mastercard and Visa were behind it.

Irish sex workers have welcomed the news that OnlyFans is to suspend its proposed ban on sexually explicit content.

The online subscription service, which is popular among sex workers, recently announced new rules which were due to come into effect in October and would prohibit “any content containing sexually explicit conduct”, though non-sexual nudity would still be permitted.
