OnlyFans bribed Meta to put thousands of porn stars on terror watchlist, suits claim

The article discusses a series of lawsuits filed against Meta (Facebook’s parent company) and OnlyFans, claiming that the two companies conspired to put thousands of porn stars on a terrorist watchlist. The suits allege that adult performers who sold X-rated photos and videos on rival sites had their Instagram accounts falsely tagged as containing terrorist content, leading to decreased promotion capabilities and income. This resulted in increased traffic and profits for OnlyFans. Law firm Milberg Coleman Bryson Phillips Grossman is representing the plaintiffs, with more than 21,000 Instagram accounts allegedly being unfairly tagged as potential terrorists. The bribery scheme dates back to 2018, with claims that one or more Meta employees took bribes from OnlyFans and routed the money through a Hong Kong subsidiary into offshore Philippines bank accounts.
