The real OnlyFans scandal is the unaccountable power of platforms and banks
The reason the banks, and through the banks OnlyFans, attack sex is <i>because</i> they are accountable, and don't wish to take risks unless they are very profitable risks.<p>The real danger of platforms and banks is how happy they are to censor for the government, or simply the loudest, richest mouth, in order to keep the profit flowing. If you want to fix it, you put in legal protections for people to do business, rather than this informal and/or ad hoc regulation through the shifting influence and agendas of arbitrary special interest groups.<p>> The financial and tech industries’ prudishness is unfortunately increasingly reflected in government policy, typically under the guise of protecting children and other vulnerable communities.<p>This is the Guardian getting causation extremely wrong.
