OnlyFans, the platform where creators can share erotic photos and videos for a fee, announced Wednesday it has reversed its decision to prohibit sexually explicit content.
“We have secured assurances necessary to support our diverse creator community and have suspended the planned October 1 policy change,” the United Kingdom-based company posted on Twitter.
“OnlyFans stands for inclusion and we will continue to provide a home for all creators.”
Founded in 2016, OnlyFans says it has 150 million users worldwide and has been adding around half a million users a day.

It hosts content posted by some two million creators, who include celebrities like rapper Cardi B and the boxer Floyd Mayweather, as well as well-known porn stars and ordinary people looking to supplement their income.
The announcement last week that OnlyFans was planning to ban explicit content was met with widespread surprise, as pornography has been the driving factor in the site’s explosion of popularity during the pandemic.
