OnlyFans is an online platform, mainly for users to share their homemade content with paying subscribers. One resident said: "OnlyFans being promoted on a billboard is ridiculous, this is what our generation has become."Īnother added: "Never thought I'd see OnlyFans girls buying billboards now." Others shared images and videos online of the same billboard elsewhere. "This is a question of the sort of activities we choose to promote and endorse within our society, not a moral argument for or against pornography." Placing the responsibility of advertising standards in the hands of every parent is as impractical as it is immoral.

"Regardless of what the intended audience may be, it is a matter of fact that pornographic services are being promoted to children in this instance. "The billboard is not only visible to anyone at all times but is also less than half a mile away from two schools, one of which being for primary school children, and shares a road with the advertisement, being on the same route parents take their children to school. The gambling, alcohol, and tobacco industries are regulated on how and to whom they are able to advertise, with particular regard to the need to protect children, young people, and those who are vulnerable from being harmed or exploited.īillboard advertising the OnlyFans performer

“Harrow is a rural suburb of Greater London, not Soho or the Red Light District of Amsterdam. The use of sexualised imagery, although far from ideal, is not my main sticking point, rather, the service advertised is entirely inappropriate for a billboard visible to all. One resident, who asked to not be named, said: “I am not making a moral argument for or against pornography, but rather how it is allowed to be advertised in such an unregulated way. The adverts promote two of her pages - including an OnlyFans page, which contains explicit content, and her Instagram account, where she describes herself as a "recovered addict turned gym junkie", which features suggestive images. One outraged individual graffitied an OnlyFans advert in North Harrow, with the message “keep porn off our streets”. A string of adverts featuring X-rated model Eliza Rose Watson posing in her underwear have sprung up in at least three different areas. Billboards promoting an adult star's OnlyFans porn site have cropped up in a number of street - to the dismay of residents.
