OnlyFans Under Fire for Verification Issues

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.

“.CAM” Ranks Among the Top 3 TLDs for Live and Video

WILLEMSTAD, Curaçao — According to data from nTLDStats, with more than 150,000 registered domains, the “.CAM” extension ranks third among new TLDs associated with the adult industry, webcams, live content, and video. It notably ranks ahead of extensions such as .love, .chat, .video, .stream, and .webcam.

One of .cam’s key strengths lies in its simplicity and international appeal. Just three letters are enough to evoke cameras, webcams and, more broadly, the world of video. The term “cam” is widely recognized across many languages, allowing businesses, platforms, and creators to immediately connect their web address with their activity while benefiting from a short and memorable domain name.

Marco Forastieri, Marketing Director of .CAM, said: “.cam’s Top 3 position confirms the strong interest in this extension within the webcam, live, and video ecosystem. This level of adoption demonstrates the relevance of a short, international extension that is directly associated with the uses it represents.”

For Domain.cam, this momentum also highlights the potential of premium .cam domain names. These domains offer businesses, platforms, and creators the opportunity to build a strong, distinctive digital identity that is immediately recognizable on an international scale.

.cam is therefore establishing itself as one of the leading specialized TLDs in its ecosystem, driven by the growth of video, streaming, and live content.

Updated Community Guidelines: Clearer Guidance for Real Streaming Situations

We’ve updated the Community Guidelines to make them clearer, more transparent, and easier to use in everyday streaming situations.

We know it isn’t always easy to understand how a rule applies to a specific moment on camera. The updated Guidelines include clearer explanations and brand-new enforcement notes for relevant policy areas. These notes answer questions we hear most often.

Alongside these practical explanations, the update highlights a key principle behind moderation: context matters. We review the whole situation rather than isolated words, objects, or moments in a broadcast. A single unverified report does not trigger enforcement on its own.

Read the updated Community Guidelines to get a better sense of the platform’s boundaries and what to expect from moderation.

We’ve updated the Guidelines with your experience in mind. Tell us what you think in the community Discord and follow us on Telegram for quick platform news.
