News related to the OnlyFans platform has been hotly discussed lately, especially for the ears of Indonesian society. Not only in the country, the presence of this OnlyFans platform has been widely known by foreign netizens as well.

With the highly advanced technology in this era, there are many ways for individuals to earn income, and one of them is through the internet. Uploading videos and doing live broadcasts or commonly known as livestreaming has become commonplace for millennials.

1. What is the OnlyFans Platform?

OnlyFans itself is a platform developed by Tim Stokely and his brother Thomas Stokely under the name 'Fenix International Limited'. Two years later, under Leonid Radvinsky, the owner of MyFreeCams, acquired 75% of the ownership of Fenix International Limited, indicating that OnlyFans began to change hands under the name of Leonid Radvinsky.

The goal of uploading videos and livestreaming is what OnlyFans strives to provide for content creators out there without any limits on what type of content they create. Content creators will eventually benefit from the many customers who will pay a certain price to follow their work or account.

Based on its purpose, OnlyFans itself has no significant difference in providing facilities with platforms that already exist. Unfortunately, this platform, which was established in 2016, gradually has its own uniqueness, namely as a platform that provides adult content.

The lack of restrictions on the types of content that can be uploaded to this platform has made OnlyFans dominated by adult content creators. Instead of experiencing a decline, OnlyFans has become popular and gained a lot of profit from its online customers because of this adult content. Since its acquisition by Radvinsky, content within OnlyFans has focused on content that is of a provocative nature, and is known by the public as the 'pornography nest'.

2. OnlyFans and its Presence in Indonesia

OnlyFans itself is not a platform that can be easily accessed in Indonesia. Indonesian customers have to make more effort if they want to access OnlyFans, most of them have to use VPN. The OnlyFans payment process is also not as easy as accessing other paid platforms, because subscribing to OnlyFans requires a kind of credit card.

As previously mentioned, OnlyFans has become a hot topic lately due to controversial cases. The arrest of one adult content creator on OnlyFans who resides in Malang made OnlyFans the center of attention on the internet. Not only the content provided, but also highlighting the content creators themselves which became a separate issue in Indonesia.

Did you know that there are several names from Indonesia who went viral because of the OnlyFans platform?

3. Gusti Ayu Dewanti or Dea OnlyFans

Gusti Ayu Dewanti or known as Dea OnlyFans is one of the names that went viral due to her involvement in creating adult content on OnlyFans. Her name went viral when it was discovered that she uploaded pornographic content on the OnlyFans platform.

Dea OnlyFans is known to upload such explicit content with the aim of earning profits as a content creator on the OnlyFans platform. Her income can reach up to 20 million Indonesian Rupiah per month, as revealed by Dea's lawyer, Syarifuddin Abdillah. Dea was arrested by the police on March 24, but they did not detain her, instead, they required her to report to the police station every Monday and Friday.

Dea does not simply upload content. She also has a concept for every photo or video she uploads on the OnlyFans platform. Often, she buys costumes to create content that usually has themes related to anime characters and so on.

The Dea OnlyFans case is still a hot topic on the internet. The police are still investigating the case and looking for anyone involved in this business. Recently, one of the comedians was also dragged into this case as he was found to have purchased dozens of Dea's videos. Of course, this has sparked controversy over the police's actions.

4. Connell Twins

The Connell Twins were the first to enter the world of OnlyFans. They upload paid photos and videos on OnlyFans. And they themselves revealed that the result of their content on OnlyFans can earn up to 2 billion rupiah per month, which can be seen through their official YouTube content about what profits they get after joining as content creators on OnlyFans.

The Connell twins, Christina O'Connell and Carlina O'Connell, who are of Indonesian-Australian descent, went viral not only because of their content on OnlyFans. A few years ago, their paid content on OnlyFans was spread for free and irresponsibly on the Twitter platform. This made the Connell twins intend to sue the perpetrator who spread their video.

In addition, The Connell Twins are famous for their hot video content categorized as incest. Some of the videos they upload feature the two siblings performing hot scenes with each other.

This content is being criticized by netizens against the Connell Twins. Not staying silent, The Connell Twins also followed up with a clarification on the matter. However, in their clarification on this case, they had a slip of the tongue where they should have said 'incest' but they said 'insect' and this earned them more criticism from netizens.

Not only their content, netizens also criticized their appearance which has changed over time. Netizens argue that the Connell Twins' dressing has become increasingly vulgar. However, some netizens also defend the Connell Twins regarding their appearance style due to their environmental factors in Australia, which is considered normal.

Apart from Dea and Connell Twins, Fransisca Candra Novitasari, also known as Siskaeee, has been known to sell adult content on OnlyFans. Siskaeee is known by netizens for her explicit content, one of which became a hot topic when she performed an exhibitionist act at Yogyakarta International Airport, Kulon Progo. After the content was uploaded, Siskaeee was named a suspect in December 2021.

Unlike the previous two celebrities, Siskaeee does have an official Twitter account to promote her adult content business and attract many viewers to subscribe. Therefore, the profits she earns are not solely from OnlyFans.

Siskaeee's characteristic in her content is to perform her exhibitionist acts in various public places such as supermarkets, malls, and hotels. Siskaeee herself never shows her face clearly, and this woman born in 1998 always sometimes wears a mask, glasses, or deliberately records her content without showing her face fully or partially.

Not only that, but what makes her followers interested in Siskaeee's content is how she uses people around her to participate in her content. Online motorcycle taxi drivers and male hotel workers often become her content, where Siskaeee records the events without their knowledge, and this is considered a different action from other adult content creators.

Siskaeee also shares her hot content on Twitter for free for her followers. Although the content shared is shorter in duration than her other videos, this still gets more attention for Siskaeee and her business progress.

There is an interesting issue related to the OnlyFans case, where some netizens argue and question the investigation into the OnlyFans case due to its perceived faster pace compared to other crucial national issues by the police. It can be said that the police are seen as 'regulating' the moral values of society, which is not actually their duty. However, investigating cases related to pornography or other explicit content is a correct action.

One netizen argued, 'Dea's arrest is an excessive action. Her decision to upload adult content is based on her own will, and there are actually more crucial cases of pornography dissemination to be handled.'

According to a survey conducted by KapanLagi team on whether it is reasonable for Indonesian celebrities or artists to upload content on OnlyFans, 50% of respondents stated that it is unreasonable, followed by 35% who saw it as reasonable, and the rest had their own opinions based on religion and norms in the community, categorized as 'up to them'.

Other netizens also argued that the industry with explicit content such as pornography has a significant number of fans in Indonesia, so it is reasonable for celebrities or artists to consider entering the industry, especially on the OnlyFans platform, as there is a small chance of failure and a high chance of making a fortune.

7. So, Is the Existence of OnlyFans and its Content Creators Legal in Indonesia?

The Indonesian society's opinion about the presence of a few cases dragging the existence of the OnlyFans platform is endless. This proves that OnlyFans and adult content creators on the platform are still controversial. The arrest of Dea OnlyFans and Siskaeee may indicate that this is absolutely illegal in Indonesia. However, some argue that the presence of OnlyFans is a legal means where everyone who wants to access it is required to pay.

However, did you know KLovers that the legality of OnlyFans depends on the country? For example, in Indonesia, OnlyFans is considered illegal because according to the Republic of Indonesia Law Number 44 of 2008 concerning pornography, in article 1 paragraph 2 it is stated that "Pornography services are all types of pornography services provided by individuals or corporations through live performances, cable television, terrestrial television, radio, telephone, internet, and other electronic communications as well as newspapers, magazines, and other printed materials." Therefore, OnlyFans is included in pornographic content, which according to the regulations in Indonesia makes it illegal.

So, what is your opinion KLovers regarding celebrities who choose to create content on OnlyFans regardless of their controversy?
