New UK law on strangulation and suffocation content

From 6 November 2026, owning or publishing porn showing strangulation or suffocation is a criminal offence in the UK. The law also covers simulated incest (“fauxcest”) and role-play as under-16s. Experts say the wording is broad, and some creators are removing older clips. If you remove content and your income drops, keep records, as it may affect your payments on account.

OnlyFans terms have changed

New OnlyFans terms started on 1 November. OnlyFans can now suspend an account and hold earnings if it thinks you “have or may have” broken the rules, or if you do not reply promptly to an information request. You stay responsible for anything an agency does on your account. AI content must clearly feature you and be labelled. Disputes must be made in writing within six months. Withdraw regularly and answer OnlyFans emails quickly.
