Q: Can I Take Legal Action to Get an OnlyFans Video Removed? I agreed but now I'm revoking my consent
I agreed to film onlyfans with someone back in July in Florida.
At the time, I was committed to pursuing OnlyFans and didn’t mind the video being posted. He told me upfront, “Don’t ask me to delete it because I won’t,” and I agreed. However, I’ve since decided to switch professions and no longer want that content online. I texted him and politely asked if he could delete the video. I even suggested that he could sell it privately instead of posting it publicly, and he initially agreed. But despite giving him time, he didn’t follow through. When I asked him again, he cussed at me, and outright refused to delete it. To make matters worse, he told me he’d post more videos—and he did. I reported his page multiple times, which temporarily got it taken down. However, Twitter eventually reinstated his account, and he reposted the video. Just yesterday, I reached out n and politely asked him to delete it. His response? A flat-out “no” along with middle finger emojis
A:
Given that you initially consented and there was a verbal agreement about not requesting deletion, this situation involves complex legal considerations around content rights and consent. Despite your changed circumstances, the initial agreement might make legal action challenging.
However, you still have several potential options to pursue. You could try documenting all interactions and consulting with a lawyer who handles digital content and intellectual property law in Florida, as they can evaluate whether any terms of your agreement were breached or if the additional postings went beyond your initial consent. If he's making threats or engaging in harassment, this could strengthen your position.
You might also want to explore OnlyFans' content removal policies and continue appealing through their platform, as many sites have processes for content removal requests even when initial consent was given. Additionally, consider reaching out to organizations that support content creators and sex workers, as they often have experience helping people navigate similar situations and might be able to connect you with appropriate legal resources. The most important thing is to keep detailed records of all your communications and any actions you've taken so far.
