The U.K.’s communications regulator, Ofcom, is investigating OnlyFans for not effectively preventing minors from accessing its adult content. The probe focuses on whether OnlyFans’ parent company, Fenix International Limited, adequately implemented age checks and whether it submitted complete and accurate information to the regulatory body.
The U.K. regulator, Ofcom, is currently examining OnlyFans, a subscription-based platform known for its adult content, due to failures in preventing underage access to pornography. The concern is that OnlyFans’ parent company, Fenix International Limited, might not have sufficiently enforced age-verification measures.
Further, the investigation by Ofcom includes whether Fenix provided incomplete or inaccurate details in response to two official requests for information—one in June 2022 and another in June 2023. These requests were part of Ofcom’s efforts to assess how video-sharing platforms like OnlyFans are protecting minors from inappropriate content.
OnlyFans claims it requires all users to provide identification, such as a name and payment card details. Additionally, it employs age-verification technology through Yoti, a government-approved provider that uses facial scans to estimate age. However, OnlyFans admitted to a mistake in their report, which incorrectly stated a minimum age threshold of 23, instead of the actual 20, although both are above the legal requirement of 18. After discovering this error, OnlyFans said it corrected the information in its report to Ofcom.
As part of its commitment to safety, OnlyFans highlighted its ongoing collaboration with Ofcom to develop and refine online safety best practices, including implementing sophisticated age-verification technologies.
The backdrop to this scrutiny is the U.K.’s recent rollout of the Online Safety Act, which will soon govern online speech and media standards. However, Ofcom’s current investigation is based on existing regulations under the Communications Act 2003, updated in 2020, which mandates that U.K.-based video-sharing platforms take appropriate steps to prevent children under 18 from accessing pornographic material. Notably, Ofcom’s probe focuses solely on the viewers of the OnlyFans platform in the U.K., not the content creators, who must already verify their identities during the onboarding process.

One line of code: The easiest way to integrate Go.cam
At Go.cam, we’ve always believed that age verification shouldn’t just be accurate, private, and compliant, it should also be effortless to integrate. Today, we’re taking a big step forward in that mission: implementing Go.cam will soon require just one single line of code.
Why This Matters Integrating age verification often meant downloading SDKs, navigating documentation, and sometimes custom integrations. Developers told us they loved the transparency of our open-source approach, but they wanted something even faster, a solution that can be live in minutes, not hours.
Automatic Implementation Integration is now as easy as dropping a single JavaScript snippet into your site. Go.cam takes care of the rest automatically:
· Blurs the website’s adult content · Camera access management · Real-time AI-powered facial age estimation · Instant verification results
Partners will also be able to change the design so it fits their site’s colors and branding and manage the settings for each domain without editing the code again.
For those who want even more control, a “controlled implementation” option is also available. This allows you to manually adjust settings and trigger custom actions, without downloading anything or running code on your own servers everything runs securely in the browser.
Compliance Without the Complexity By removing complexity, we’re making privacy-first and AI-powered age verification accessible to everyone — from startups to global platforms. This one-line integration isn’t just a technical update; it’s our way of keeping Go.cam as the easiest, fastest, and most reliable solution on the market.
SkyPrivate Launches Lifetime 90% Referral Payout for Models
SkyPrivate is rolling out a major update that gives models a powerful new way to maximize their earnings: 90% lifetime payout on referred members.
With this new system, the models earn 90% on everything the new members they refer to SkyPrivate spend with them on the platform.
This includes tips, pay-per-minute calls, prepaid shows, and store purchases. And the models continue to earn 90% for as long as their referrals remain active on SkyPrivate.
To access the 90% referral payout rate, the models simply need to log in to their SkyPrivate accounts, navigate to “Promote” → “Get 90% Payout”, and copy their referral links.
They can then share their links wherever their fans follow them: socials, chat, anywhere. SkyPrivate’s referral update doesn’t change the models’ regular payout rates. Instead, it adds a new way for models to earn 90% on the referred members’ spending with them and boost their income.
“This update is designed to reward our models for bringing new active members to the platform,” said Dragos, chief commercial officer at SkyPrivate. “It’s simple, transparent, and gives our community of models an extra way to maximize their earnings… for life.”
The 90% lifetime payout enables SkyPrivate models to take charge of their referrals and turn their existing fan base across social media and other platforms into a steady stream of income.
It’s a competitive advantage for those looking to grow their presence and earnings on the platform.
