Surely if a 16 year old can circumvent age verification then any criminal can. I understand nothing is perfect, my point was to show that any user generated platform faces the potential of illegal content being hosted.
So was Pornhub. That's what the sex workers in the article are upset about. They were able to sell their videos. They can still make ad revenue but the ban by Visa/MC just ends up hurting them.
I doubt it will be long before the religious lobbies go after Onlyfans.
But there's a dark side: the documentary found evidence of the age verification process being circumvented, meaning under-18s were able to illegally sell explicit content of themselves on the site.
