People here don't seem to realise all this was from pressure from fundamentalist christian groups like Exodus Cry, which managed to collect 2 million signatures pretending to want to protect sex workers and be anti-trafficking.
Their end-goal however is a lot simpler: get rid of all porn.
It was not made illegal. Cigarettes are available everywhere.
It was made uncool. The product placement in movies and such disappeared, so you don't see super cool hero looking awesome as he smokes while going to do something important.
Ads targeted at kids are illegal. Everyone knows it is unhealthy. There isnless social pressure to smoke.
What actual leverage do these groups have over the banking and processing systems that were actually forcing the changes to OnlyFans? Shouldn't there be some statements that it was 2 million signatures that had an effect somewhere? And if so, why retract? Did someone get 3 million reddit karma to keep it, and now someone else needs 4 million survey responses to ban porn again?
I looked an was not able to find evidence. Only these groups happy with the plan and congratulating themselves based on seemingly nothing.
