OnlyFans hits UK regulator’s radar for age-verification failures around porn access
Ofcom is investigating OnlyFans for failing to prevent children from accessing pornography through the platform.
Ofcom, the official regulatory body for the U.K.’s broadcasting, telecommunications and postal industries, says it has grounds to suspect that OnlyFans’ parent company, Fenix International Limited, failed to implement age-verification measures sufficiently. “…the available evidence suggests that the information provided by OnlyFans in response to the two notices may not have been complete and accurate, and that the age assurance measures it had taken may not have been implemented in such a way as to protect under 18s from restricted material.” “As the leading U.K.-based and regulated social media platform, OnlyFans works closely with Ofcom to implement and develop best-practices on online safety, including the use of age-assurance technology.”
