Summary

China has quietly allowed access to OnlyFans since Nov. 29, despite its strict ban on pornography.

The platform, known for user-generated adult content, has sparked online jokes on Weibo, with some linking the move to efforts to address China’s youth unemployment rate, which recently hit 17.1%.

Some speculate the availability is an error that may soon be reversed, recalling past accidental unblocking of sites. Others note OnlyFans also hosts non-explicit content, such as comedy and sports, which may have influenced its accessibility.

Truth Social remains blocked in China.

    What is China’s stance against fediverse in general? I know they have blocked lemmy.ml, but have they blocked other servers so far?

      Love the fact that .ml, the instance that shows up calling you a bourgeroise fascist pig the second you bring up any bad thing that China has done, is blocked there.
