The United Kingdom-based platform—best known for monetized adult content and the “creator economy” it helped redefine—is now banned “even further” from the Chinese mainland. While the app was already officially banned throughout the country, recent efforts are being made to reinforce the government mandate, specifically targeting workarounds. The move continues Beijing’s ongoing push to clean up its digital space by stamping out what it deems “immoral and degenerate Western influence.”

In practice, OnlyFans had never been formally available in China, but VPN loopholes and third-party payment systems gave some creators and users access. As of July 15, China has been making these loopholes even more difficult to use and legally very dangerous. This move adds to a string of recent crackdowns that include restrictions on foreign video games, movie imports, and certain social media platforms.

The crackdown on hypersexualized channels and adult content sites is nothing new; China has long been known for its strict censorship laws and active policing against crimes related to pornography, and has even put out anti-porn songs complete with a music video. Yet, as we all know, if there’s a will, there’s a way.

While China continues to adapt its regulations across global social platforms and websites alike, online creators remain savvy, moving across digital borders with ease by adopting (although unconfirmed) alternative subscription-based—or “fan club”—platforms such as Fansnub, Weimiquan, and Zhihu.

And if you’re still thinking about whether that anti-porn song is catchy or not, you can check it out along with our deep dive into the history of watching porn in China below.
