OnlyFans, an online subscription platform known for adult content has come under the scanner for bribing Meta (more colloquially known as Facebook) employees to put adult stars of rival platforms on a terror watchlist, according to an explosive lawsuit filed in a US court.

Reportedly, adult performers who sold their pictures, videos and other content on rival platforms of OnlyFans had their Instagram and Facebook accounts tagged as containing terrorist content.

It is pertinent to note that Meta works with a non-profit named Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT) which maintains a database of terror-linked accounts. GIFCT was formed by big tech giants such as Microsoft, Twitter, YouTube and Meta in 2017 to stop the spread of online terror-related content.

Any individual flagged as a terrorist by Meta is then censored on other platforms rather quickly, thereby reducing the reach of the creator, forcing them to make an account on OnlyFans, which remained the only platform to enjoy immunity from the crackdown.

The scam had been ongoing since 2018

The complainants have argued that more than one Meta employees, including a senior executive had been in on the bribery scam since October 2018.

Moreover, the plaintiffs claim that bribes were routed through Fenix International, the parent company of OnlyFans. Fenix International diverted the money through a secret Hong Kong company that deposited it eventually into an offshore Philippines account, allegedly operated by the Meta employees.

OnlyFans' owner Leonid Radvinsky has also been named in the lawsuit. Reportedly, through the blacklisting, OnlyFans managed to quash its competitors and managed to remain the only company with such an IP.

OnlyFans responded to the allegations by terming them devoid of any merit, “We are aware that these cases have been filed. We are not aware of any evidence which supports these allegations. The alleged participants have all publicly stated that these cases have no merit.”

As reported by WION, earlier in February this year, FanCentro, a rival of OnlyFans had begun legal action against the company. However, at the time, the social media company taking part in the scam was unidentified.

OK< this is the funniest shit I've read about in a while.

Holy shit.

"Imma gonna sell my butthole pics on ButtHoleFans dot Com!"

"Um, guess I'm gonna sell my butthole pics on ONlyFans."
FB>You are not a terrorist.

This is fucking great.

Hope this finally gets them shut the fuck down. Between this and the Visa / Pornhub lawsuit the coomer business seems to be in deep shit.

 

[Rei is shit]

Wow I can't believe companies secretly conspire together.

I think the biggest question is here why are Facebook a civilian entity building a Terrorist List in the first place?

 

[LordofTendons]

Who else has been put on a terrorist watchlist? How much to put someone on a watch list? How much to get off of the list? Do they take crypto? This article is lacking critical details.

I mean, why does the owner of the largest video streaming and search engine monopoly contract directly for the U.S. DoD?

 

[DumbDude42]

i wonder what the glowies think about their terrorism watchlist suddenly being full of random internet prostitutes lol

 

[b0o0pinsn0o0tz]

Huh I guess those people saying OnlyFans is evil are onto something.

I think the biggest question is here why are Facebook a civilian entity building a Terrorist List in the first place?

Because the typical Federal employee is too ignorant and sheltered to understand how to do their job, forcing Facebook to do it for them.

 

[Lemmingwise]

Who would have thought that the largest society destroying human trafficking platform would possibly engage in illicit or underhanded practices?

Not surprised that onlyfans was involved either.

 

[Kiwisee]

It’s not fair

Sluts get to be on a terror list but a TRUE and HONEST Kiwi isn’t considered relevant enough to be one?

 

[Stabmaster Arson]

I'm not going to read the article or choose a side until I've seen the boobs of all the women involved.

I think the biggest question is here why are Facebook a civilian entity building a Terrorist List in the first place?

This is the same company that works hand in hand with the government to monitor suspected terrorists as well as anyone suspected of wrongthink.

You know somewhere out there is some whore who can’t get on an airplane because she sold pictures of her asshole to the wrong coomers. This is the kind of shit pimps wish they could do to any girl who doesn’t work for them.

 

[Socrates]

Wow I can't believe companies secretly conspire together.

Fact check: False
The companies were not "conspiring", they were merely cooperating in a way to maximize their own profit and minimize their competitions profit. Disinformation like this is a threat to our stock prices Democracy and your social credit score has been altered to reflect this careless insurrective behavior.

Just as a note, Leo also owns MyFreeCams and there have been suggestions that it's also used to launder money for various Eastern Euro organized crime types. I at least give him a nod for not allowing men on MFC. Real women only, no fucking on cam. Paying Facebook to declare e-thots terrorists is funny as hell.

Paying Facebook to declare e-thots terrorists is funny as hell.

The sad thing is neither the 'models' nor the coomers give half a shit about unethical conduct.
The ethots who weren't on OnlyFans only weren't because OnlyFans takes a cut of their earnings, and they thought they could do better through private snapchats and paypal.

Yeah, it's not like camwhores are bastions of ethical behavior either or anything, but I'd hope they were smart enough not to use paypal though, they'd get hammered for adult services eventually. I think Leo just likes fucking with them sometimes, like the time MFC "accidentally" released the top girls token earnings for a month. The butthurt from the mid-tier girls was real and not from their Bad Dragons for once.
