The decision by the creator platform OnlyFans to soon stop hosting a wide swath of sexually explicit content is sending shockwaves through the internet.

Now, sex workers are raising their voices again, this time to defend their ability to represent themselves on digital platforms like OnlyFans.they are frustrated and angry at OnlyFans' announcement, adding that the decision will cost the creators their livelihoods and networks and could ultimately lead to a decline in OnlyFans' own popularity as a platform.

Payment processors are well within their rights to determine what transactions they will and won't support on their networks. In that respect, they are not that different from platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, who are massively powerful in their own right, said Danielle Citron, a law professor at the University of Virginia studying online content moderation and who also helps lead the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative, a group that advocates against nonconsensual porn.

Citron wants to see changes made to Section 230 that could expose platforms to more liability under certain circumstances. Perhaps, she said, those changes might even allow sex workers who feel their businesses have been harmed by payment processors to sue them for tortious interference.

Only Fans is unable/unwilling to verify the consent of all people depicted, including minors. Credit card companies don't want to facilitate or be liable for depicting the sexual abuse and exploitation of minors, or nonconsenting adults (e.g. revenge porn).

I feel like a big federal indictment was happening if they didn’t.
