If its the corporate policy, that's fine, no? Its fine to ban or un-ban people. If corporate policy demands that infractions can be revoked by sex, and people agree to do it, I don't see the problem.

This is not a legal issue. Its not a freedom of speech issue, which in any case can also bypassed by corporate policy.



It’s a social engineering attack in a way. I would not blame the OnlyFans creator but I would encourage silently letting the employee who did this go with severance pay.

Imo long-term, companies should be legislated into having fair ban appeals, and enforced in transparency of why accounts are banned after they are a certain size.

Then I would happily start debating the removal of these employee specialty services which allow this. I say this as someone who has used this power before for legitimate reasons.

There should be official channels to do this with companies as large as Google, Facebook, Twitter, Twitch, YouTube etc.


Community guidelines are fine - they are all you need.

Freedom of speech can be ignored - if the community guidelines say so. Similarly, if the guidelines are that if you 'offer up' you can be reinstated, and you are fine to do that, that's fine too?

We're in the world of corporate policy now. Laws have nothing to do with! These are private corporations, and their policies determine what's right or wrong on their platforms.
