Government Alerted Mastercard & Visa of Child Abuse on OnlyFans
In 2021 and 2022, federal agents, a whistleblower, and anti-trafficking experts alerted Mastercard and Visa regarding the illegal content being bought on the OnlyFans site. Despite this, both companies continued to facilitate the sexual exploitation of minors and did not employ anti-money laundering programs, instead opting to “directly hand[le] the proceeds of these illicit transactions”.
