"Even if every single one of them is verifiably 18 or older, you still have to confront the issue that OnlyFans is profiting from the sexual portrayal of women who appear to be underage."
I disagree. #NotMyJam & I don't subscribe to OnlyFans, but this guy comes across as a prude with massive hangups. I do think we should err on the side of caution and have a zero-tolerance policy on content that features or depicts underage subjects.
BUT. If 18 (in the US) is the law and the socially-agreed age of consent, that should be the end of it. You can't get mad at images of short, petite-framed women, or schoolgirl-kink images of verifiably legal age just because you don't like the content. I think OF uses AI to automatically flag potential CSAM for manual review as well as working with law enforcement and advocacy groups. While nothing is perfect and even a single sex-trafficked person is too many and the perpetrator should be brought to justice, I think that's a good system because it minimizes potential abuse. It's also one of the few good uses of AI because it limits those exposed to the material. But I don't think you can say OF chooses to profit off illegal material or enable it. And saying what legal material is allowed on someone else's platform is just puritanical.
