The ones who get caught, yeah.

It seems to me that OnlyFans takes several steps that make it easier for police and prosecutors to do their job, some of which are detailed in the article. What additional steps do you think they should take?

None. My point is that there’s a shit ton of abuse out there. Only a tiny amount is caught

You said the people who do this get arrested. But they don’t. Only a tiny fraction get caught and arrested

I guess I'm thinking about this from a solutions-oriented mindset: what concrete, achievable steps can various entities take to reduce child abuse? For an adult content platform, the identity verification steps OnlyFans uses seem reasonable; even when an offender uses an account owned by someone else, that often provides enough of a lead for investigators.
