ONLYFANS now available in China

ONLYFANS, a popular subscription -based platform, which is primarily known for its sexually explicit content, has recently become accessible in China after it was previously blocked by the government census.

Access to ONLYFANS in China

Social media users on X noticed a week ago that the page works again and confirmed checks by CNN on Thursday that accounts could be called up in China. According to Greatfire.org, an organization that monitors freedom of expression on the Internet in China, ONLYFANS was unlocked on November 29. The site was previously available in China, but mostly only for very short periods of time.

government policy against sexual content

Beijing generally blocks access to thousands of websites, including those who host pornography, which is illegal in the country. The government pursues a zero tolerance policy towards sexually explicit content.

reactions of the users

The news that ONLYFANS is now accessible in China was received positively online. Users on the social platform Weibo joke that the government offers job opportunities for freshly graduated graduates in a dark labor market, and suggest that they could start selling content on the page.

unemployment rate among young people

"Isn't that another measure to create jobs?" asked a contribution. Another user noticed: "This is a good company that gives the creators 90 % of the income! Isn't that better than real work?"

The unemployment rate for the 16- to 24 year olds, without students, was 17.1 %in October, which is a little less than the maximum numbers published in August. Youth unemployment in China reached record values last year before the data was exposed and reintroduced with a different methodology.

variety of content on ONLYFANS

Although ONLYFANS is mainly known for sexual content, some creators also hire music or fitness videos. Last year the platform launched a porn-free online streaming service with comedy and sports shows.
