The new policy will go into effect October 1, 2021 and will still allow for nude content to be posted so long as it abides by the company's Acceptable Use Policy.

Pornographic content and video will no longer be permitted for posting.
"In order to ensure the long-term sustainability of the platform, and to continue to host an inclusive community of creators and fans, we must evolve our content guidelines," Onlyfans told Entrepreneur.
The company said that it will be releasing more details on the policy update soon as it continues to moderate and help creators through the change and process.
The site has seen over $5 billion in creator revenue since its inception in 2016.
