What It Means for Creators in 2025

💣 The Platform That Dominates Headlines — For the Wrong Reasons

In early 2025, OnlyFans made headlines again — not for breakout stars or viral content, but for being slapped with a £1.05 million fine (~$1.4 million) by the UK’s media watchdog, Ofcom.

The reason? The platform claimed it required users to be at least 23 years old — but in reality, the system was built around an age check of just 20. After briefly adjusting to 23 in January, it quietly lowered the threshold to 21 again, without telling users.

⚠️ Regulators weren’t amused. Neither should you be.

🧠 Why This Should Scare Creators

This isn’t some obscure policy violation. It’s a major trust breach, and it hits at the core of what creators rely on:

  • ⚖️ Platforms that look safe on the outside, but hide shady backend decisions
  • ❌ False promises about user safety and compliance
  • 🔒 Creators being exposed to potential legal risk or public backlash they didn’t sign up for

If a site can’t even be honest about something as basic as age verification, what else is happening behind closed doors?

📉 The Real Risk? You Losing Control

Most creators assume platforms handle the legal stuff — until things go sideways. But in today’s climate, especially with countries like the UK, Sweden, and the US tightening regulations:

  • You can’t afford to put all your content in one basket
  • You can’t trust platforms that aren’t fully transparent
  • You shouldn’t be vulnerable to fines, bans, or algorithm blackouts

Your business deserves more than guesswork.
