OnlyFans rival Glamourfans hits out at social media censorship
UK adult content platform Glamourfans has launched a protest against Facebook and Instagram’s “heavy handed censoring of women and non-binary people's bodies”.
A group of adult content creators had their bodies projected across three locations in London, UK this week, including Facebook’s head office.
Glamourfans, which is operated by a company called Sociotech, says it was created to “address dissatisfaction and distrust in OnlyFans following its move to ban explicit videos” and claims to be a 'creator first' alternative.
A Glamourfans spokesperson says: “It’s impossible to ignore the growing damage caused by social media censorship. From content creators to sex positive activists and artists, big tech companies are policing women’s bodies.”
“We’re taking a stance against heavy handed social media policies that say yes to nipples on men but respond to the bodies of women and non-binary people with removed posts and banned accounts.”
They add: “People around the world have been fighting against these policies for years, from #freethenipple to the plight of mums campaigning to be able to post breastfeeding pictures and sex workers waking up to find their accounts permanently banned.”
“We’ve had enough and are proud to be launching a new platform that protects creators and allows them to be free to show and celebrate their bodies. It’s time to shine a light on what Instagram and Facebook are doing.”
