What Is OnlyFans? Here’s What Every Parent Needs to Know

What is OnlyFans? Are you wondering is OnlyFans safe? We've got everything parents and families need to know about this dangerous website (fortunately, there’s no OnlyFans app… yet).

OnlyFans is a subscription-based service that allows creators to provide content to users in exchange for money. It is usually a monthly fee, but there’s also a pay-per-view option in some instances.

With more than 130 million users and over 1 million creators, OnlyFans has become known for its sexual content. Pornography is allowed and extremely popular on the site. Creators can upload videos they've filmed or they can broadcast live to their fans, in addition to posting photos and messages.

Officially, you have to be 18 or older to sign up for an OnlyFans account because of all of the sexual content that’s available. You're required to add a credit card to join, as this is meant to help weed out kids, but it doesn't always work.

To become a creator, the process is more intense because creators will be making money from their content, which could include sexual activity. You're required to connect a bank account to receive payment. Then, to confirm your age, a third-party company takes a picture of your face. This will have to match to a form of ID you upload like a passport or driver’s license.

Despite all this, some kids have still managed to create fake accounts, and this presents many dangers. They'll be able to post photos or videos that potentially millions of strangers could see. Kids could also be contacted by other OnlyFans users, which could lead to predation, sextortion, and more.

Bark can help you protect your child from OnlyFans and similar websites with our powerful website blocking tool. You block entire categories of sites with sexual content, or add individual sites as needed.

Imagine if you found out your child has been a "content" creator in this website after you found out what it is.
