Sweden bans paying for OnlyFans content

I'm lost on the legal / ethical difference in this ban:

>Under the new law, it is illegal to pay someone to perform a sexual act remotely – such as via live video – for the specific purpose of the act being viewed by the buyer. It also criminalises profiting from or promoting others who perform such acts for payment on demand.

---

>While viewing and paying for pre-recorded content remains legal, the law targets live, commissioned interactions, which lawmakers argue blur legal and ethical lines.

What is the legal / ethical issue with it being live?

redczar•8mo ago
Potential for sexual slavery. Performers being coerced to do the performance along with the fact that performers are often in locations with lax law enforcement standards.
duxup•8mo ago
Wouldn't that apply to recorded, or any sexual activity just as much as live?

Yes. They probably have issues with the one on one interaction because they know I will ask them to put shoe on head. People can request custom videos to be recorded offline just as easily as one on one live. They should probably elaborate and probably will during the court cases that follow.

If a video chat could lead to slavery then Uber and Lift should also be banned. That's even more in-person than a remote internet video connection that could be easily dumped. In an Uber I could touch the driver. On a video chat I could not. In a taxi I know where the driver resides. On a video chat I would have no idea unless the performer was careless.

I think more realistically its probably related to the threats and incidents that Omegle had. Either party could perform an illegal act which means all of the live streams would have to be monitored real time. If something pre-recorded had to be hosted on their site it's easier to catch people doing illicit acts such as agreeing to involve their kids or exchanging drugs and money or agreeing to continue the stream outside of the control of OnlyFans or agreeing to meet in person for real prostitution or telling jokes about that Swede and Norwegian that are captured by a jungle tribe and made to go gather 8 things.

michalpleban•8mo ago
That's a good question. Maybe the idea is that it being live means the viewers can influence the performance, pressuring the performer in real time (without proper time to consider the ramifications of the decision) to perform acts they would not otherwise be comfortable with. But I agree that this distinction seems very arbitrary.

Well, first of all, anyone who's seen Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies knows how this stuff can really go badly wrong.

Also, have you ever tried going after a refund for this stuff? MAN!
