I've said this for years as others online have claimed OF is so safe. You don't know the full story. It is not necessarily a more ethical business model than traditional porn
It's definitely more ethical in that it allows the creators to get more of the money.
But that doesn't mean there aren't issues. Clearly it doesn't fix the whole issue of people under 18 sometimes making their way into the industry. It's not a silver bullet that fixes an entire (sometimes problematic) industry.
I don't know who was trying to tell you that OF solves everything about the porn industry, there would be no further issues, and that we'd live happily ever after, but that was obviously never going to be the case.
Also the article isn't even so much about underaged users trying to get on the platform to post pictures of themselves or trying to gain access to porn, OF seems to be fairly good at keeping them out, it's adults posting content involving minors and that's a lot harder problem to prevent without literally going through every upload manually.
Yeah.
That's really not easy to catch, no matter what platform you are. Some people will do complicated shit to evade the eyes of the law for their illicit activities.
