The Former ICU Nurse Revolutionizing the Sex Work Industry

09:43am, Monday, 13'th Dec 2021 The Daily Beast
Allie Rae Its no secret that the mainstream financial system for sex workers is discriminatory and broken. Payment processors such as Visa and Mastercard are getting increasingly stricter with the adult entertainment space as the stigma against sex workers continues to lingeras we all witnessed back in August, when OnlyFans suddenly announced they would be banning sexually explicit adult content from their platform , thereby putting millions of sex workers out of work, only to reverse course a month later after receiving extreme backlash. They werent the first adult platform to fall victim to Visa and Mastercards dated demands. Pornhub made a similar announcement in 2020 when Visa suspended purchases on the platform temporarily following a skewed New York Times investigation, and just this month, AVN Stars and GayVN Stars announced they too would end monetized content for creators on their platform by Jan. 1, 2022, once again citing banking discrimination. The Free Speech Coalition (FSC), which advocates for the rights and freedoms of sex workers, responded in a statement : Companies like Mastercard are now accomplices in the disenfranchisement of millions of sex workers, complicit in pushing workers away from independence into potentially more dangerous and exploitative conditions. OnlyFans, arguably the largest platform for user-generated adult content, has over 150 million usersand over 2 million of those are content creators.
