Mandate Age Verification on Adult Content Websites


Mandate Age Verification on Adult Content Websites
The Issue
I was shocked to discover, through my own research, that minors are easily accessing and using adult content websites like OnlyFans, WishTender,Findom and FetLife to generate income. This is not only illegal but also exposes them to potential harm and exploitation. It's a disturbing reality that needs immediate attention.
Plus research is showing that the owners and upper management knows that minors are signing on to their websites, but do nothing as they are making money from them. Some CEOS and founders of these websites are recruiting and encouraging minors to sign on and promote themselves to generate money for the website.
In the digital age where information is readily available at our fingertips, it's alarming how easy it is for underage individuals to bypass age restrictions on these platforms. According to a study by the UK’s Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), over 90% of explicit content featuring underage individuals was self-generated - a statistic that underscores the urgency of this issue.
We need stricter measures in place. We call upon these platforms - OnlyFans, WishTender, FetLife and others alike - to implement mandatory age verification systems requiring proof such as Driver's License or State ID before allowing users access. This will ensure that only those legally permitted can use these sites while protecting minors from potential harm.
It's time we prioritize safety over convenience in our digital spaces. Please sign this petition urging adult content websites to enforce stricter age verification protocols for their users' protection.
