alt Hacker News> Onlyfans is legal prostitution
No, its legal (in some jurisdictions) pornography. Prostitution on the platform, as well as whatever the legal status is in the set of jurisdictions involved, is also, from what I understand, explicitly against the platform ToS.

Way to split hairs. Something being against the ToS can still be legal.
Prostitution obviously cannot physically happen on an online platform, but it sure is a convenient way to advertise and attract customers, and serve as the payment processor.

I will say that it's a weird legal distinction in many states that paying someone to have sex is illegal unlessss.... you record it and sell the recording. Then it's legal.
