OnlyFans, an internet subscription service allowing users to generate and get paid for their own pornography, has suddenly become accessible in China.
Summary
China has quietly allowed access to OnlyFans since Nov. 29, despite its strict ban on pornography.
The platform, known for user-generated adult content, has sparked online jokes on Weibo, with some linking the move to efforts to address China's youth unemployment rate, which recently hit 17.1%.
Some speculate the availability is an error that may soon be reversed, recalling past accidental unblocking of sites. Others note OnlyFans also hosts non-explicit content, such as comedy and sports, which may have influenced its accessibility.
