Just this week Sweden's parliament passed a new law prohibiting the purchase of certain sexual acts online. As of July 1st, it will be illegal to purchase compensation for another person to perform a sexual act online. The law allows users to purchase pre-recorded sexual posts, but this new law does put a great restriction on bespoke sexual video content and live streams specifically requested.
The new law carries a sentence of up to one year in prison.
Bye Bye, OnlyFans?
Paying for live cam ‘interaction’ or requesting bespoke naughty content from a provider makes up a large percentage of what one finds on OnlyFans and other sites like it. But as Sweden’s Social Democrat Teresa Carvalho told their broadcast TV4:"This is a new form of sex purchases and it is high time that we modernise the Sex Purchase Act, and that we also include purchases that take place remotely on digital platforms such as OnlyFans."
There is no doubt sites that allow the kind of one-on-one access and custom-made video content so very popular by fans are being targeted in Sweden's new law.
As Sweden Does The US Will Follow?
Although May is International Masturbation Month it also seems that it is also seeing pornography coming under question for lawmakers and legislators in countries other than Sweden.
This past month Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee and Illinois Rep. Mary Miller reintroduced the Interstate
Obscenity Definition Act (IODA). They are looking for a redefinition of what the U.S. considers "obscene" material. Presently, age verification is used as much to safeguard children from viewing pornographic materials...a very good thing, indeed. But critics worry about far-reaching measures skirting censorship and limited online algorithms gumming up the works, eliminating even legal pornographic matters only adults are accessing.
And the Take It Down Act was just passed into law, a supposed measure to catch AI deepfakes and revenge porn. But again, who knows how far reaching this legislation will go?
The Last Word?
Sweden’s Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer claims that the new amendment to their sex law is simply a natural extension of Sweden's prostitution regulations. "Basically, the idea is that anyone who buys sexual
acts performed remotely should be penalised in the same way as those who buy
sexual acts involving physical contact," he said.
How the above will all play out for Sweden's citizens is yet to be seen.
But no OnlyFans?!
