Ofcom has closed its probe into minors using OnlyFans but will still check if the platform gave accurate details. If new evidence appears later, the regulator may decide to reopen the investigation.

Though the case is closed, Ofcom will continue monitoring OnlyFans. The regulator wants to ensure the platform follows strict rules and takes proper steps to stop minors from accessing explicit content.

Ofcom has not ruled whether OnlyFans broke any rules but has chosen to close the case for now. If any new evidence comes to light, the regulator may choose to restart the investigation when needed.

The probe was launched in May 2024 to check if OnlyFans had proper protections to block minors. Now that it is closed, some question whether current online safety rules are effective enough.

OnlyFans has not released any statement on Ofcom’s decision. The company has claimed it follows child protection laws, but its silence raises questions about whether its safety measures truly work.

Although this case is over, Ofcom will still monitor OnlyFans. If more issues related to underage access appear, the regulator may take further action to enforce stronger safety guidelines.

The UK is tightening laws for adult websites. Platforms like OnlyFans must prove they effectively prevent minors from accessing content or risk facing strict legal action and financial penalties.

Even though Ofcom closed the case, many experts and parents remain concerned. They continue calling for stronger online protections to stop minors from bypassing weak age verification systems.
