Is TikTok advertising OnlyFans to your daughter? #Shorts - Video

Your daughter's TikTok is advertising OnlyFans to her? A new report says yes, and it hides in plain sight.

Two campaign groups, CEASE in the UK and Collective Shout in Australia, spent a year studying TikTok posts by popular young OnlyFans performers. The adult content isn't on TikTok. The ads for it are.

They hide in "girly" videos. Makeup, pets, baking, shopping, "get ready with me". TikTok blocks one word, so creators write "corn" instead, or drop a ???? next to a ⭐.

Then come the private jets, the cars, the big houses. OnlyFans sold as a way out of being broke. The report says the average creator makes about $1,000 a year.

TikTok says it strictly prohibits sexual content and its systems are designed to keep age-inappropriate content away from teens. OnlyFans says it's 18+ only.

Our verdict? The report is real. It comes from groups that campaign against the sex industry, and no regulator has ruled on it.

What parents can do
1. Look at who your kid follows, not just what they post.
2. ????⭐ in a caption or bio isn't always about food.
3. Talk about the "rich and free" dream before an influencer does.

Send this to a parent who thinks TikTok is just dances ????
