A new report says TikTok is being used by some OnlyFans creators to quietly promote adult content to young girls.
Even though TikTok bans sexual solicitation and direct links to adult sites, the report claims performers use coded language and emojis to get around the rules.
Researchers warn of TikTok-OnlyFans pipeline
Researchers warn of a "TikTok to OnlyFans pipeline," where creators show off glamorous lifestyles funded by adult content, making it seem like an easy way to make money.
Melinda Tankard Reist, of Collective Shout, criticized TikTok for exposing young users to this messaging.
Both TikTok and OnlyFans say they enforce strict guidelines and age restrictions.
