OnlyFans suspends plan to ban sexually explicit content after outcry

What they're saying: "Thank you to everyone for making your voices heard," the platform tweeted. "We have secured assurances necessary to support our diverse creator community and have suspended the planned October 1 policy change."

• "OnlyFans stands for inclusion and we will continue to provide a home for all creators."

The big picture: OnlyFans announced the proposed ban on sexually explicit content last week.

• The company has struggled to attract outside investors, and the move was done at the request of its banking and payout partners, it said.
• The move concerned many sex workers who had made long-term financial commitments, including mortgages, based on the presumption that they'd continue posting on the platform.
