This social media platform that says it's revolutionizing connections, relationships between content creators and fans, is banning only sexually explicit content.
The London-headquartered company, owned by Fenix International Limited, says the ban on adult content will be effective October 1, 2021.
This BBC News report says it received an internal OnlyFans company compliance manual that shows that "staff are asked to be more lenient towards successful accounts on the British content-sharing service."
This report refers moderation specialists and child protection experts saying OnlyFans "has some "tolerance" for accounts posting illegal content."
BBC News claims OnlyFans announcement on banning explicit adult content including advertisement for prostitution services and bestiality has come after BBC News approached the company for its reaction to the leaked compliance manual.
The report also quotes an OnlyFans statement that says: "We do not tolerate any violation of our terms of service, and we take immediate action to uphold the safety and security of our users."
How does OnlyFans work?
Founded in 2016 by British entrepreneur Tim Stokely, OnlyFans says it helps content creators monetize or make money from their content (images, videos) free of advertisers.
According to abc.net.au, users of the OnlyFans site pay a monthly subscription between $5 to $50 to view feeds. These users are also allowed to ask for exclusive content and offer tips for customized pictures and videos.
The BBC says creators also get paid for sending personal messages to subscribers and OnlyFans takes a 20% cut from all sales and services.
Pocket-Lint.com says OnlyFans is used not only by sex workers. Models, musicians, actors, physical fitness experts and influencers too use this platform for making extra revenue.
These artists receive money directly from fans monthly as well as from a pay-per-view option.

Why Is Only Fans banning content?
The site says it's putting a stop to sexually explicit content to comply with Safe For Work (SFW) policies and requests from its banking partners and payment providers.
The ABC.net.au says Pornhub operator Mindgeek had previously revised its safety and security policies.
This arose after Pornhub, among the most visited sites on the world wide web, came under pressure from its payment processors partners over reports that it was posting illegal content including child pornography and rape videos.
What's next for OnlyFans?
OnlyFans says it is the go-to platform for over 100 million registered users and more than 1 million creators worldwide.
