However, on August 20, 2021, OnlyFans announced a 'ban on sexually explicit content.' Similarly, the pornographic video distribution service 'Pornhub', which was one of the revenue sources of sex workers, was released at that time in 2020 after receiving a payment suspension measure by Visa and Mastercard, prohibiting unauthorized users from uploading videos. There was an 'incident' that erased 80% of the content, and it was speculated that OnlyFans might have been similarly pressured by card companies and banks.
