OnlyFans fined over user age-check information failings

The site - which is known for hosting explicit material - gave inaccurate information about age verification.

OnlyFans' parent company has been fined £1.05m after giving inaccurate information about the measures it had in place to check the age of its users. That led to an investigation by Ofcom, which has concluded Fenix contravened its legal duty to provide accurate information, and prompted the fine. The OSA - which is coming into force fully this year - places greater responsibilities on tech firms to protect people, including the young, from harmful content online.
