by The company behind subscription Site ONLYFANS was occupied by OFCOM with a fine of 1.05 million GBP because it did not respond exactly to formal information requests.
The regulatory authority said Fenix International Limited had been punished because he did not provide any precise information on his old -age security measures on request.
In June 2022 and June 2023, OFCOM had asked Fenix to find out which age testing measures they had only existed for fans – but Fenix alarmed Offcom proactively in January 2024 that they had provided incorrect information about the “challenge” for his age estimate technology.
As a result, OFCOM started several studies on Fenix in May last year.
Suzanne Cater, Entry Director of Ofcom, said: “If we use our legal powers to request information from platforms, you are legally necessary to ensure that you are delivered to us in full, exactly and in good time.
“For OFCOM, getting precise and complete information is of fundamental importance to deal with and understand and monitor his work as a regulatory authority and how platforms work.
“We will consider platforms to be high standards and do not hesitate to take enforcement measures where we find mistakes.”
A spokesman for Nurfans said: “Nurfans realizes how important it is to provide OFCOM exact and timely information.
“We welcome the conclusion of this process and the earlier decision by OFCOM to conclude your investigation in our old -age security measures.”
Last month, OFCOM dropped another probe in only fans and examined whether the website did enough to prevent pornography from accessing pornography on the platform.
At the time when the investigations were only started for the investigation, the platform said that a “coding configuration problem” had led to its age review tools to the report error and that it was always confident that it had always fulfilled its commitments to protect under the age of 18, since it could access limited material.
