Twitter planned to build an OnlyFans clone, but CSAM issues reportedly derailed the plan

Twitter discussed creating an OnlyFans clone to monetize the adult content that's been prevalent on the platform for many years, but its inability to effectively detect and remove harmful sexual content put the brakes on that notion, according to a Verge investigation. A team Twitter put together to find out whether the company could pull off such a move determined this spring that "Twitter cannot accurately detect child sexual exploitation and non-consensual nudity at scale.” The team's findings were “part of a discussion, which ultimately led to us pause the workstream for the right reasons,” Twitter spokesperson Katie Rosborough said.
Twitter is said to have halted the Adult Content Monetization (ACM) project in May, not long after it agreed a $44 billion sale to Elon Musk — that deal is now up in the air. The company's leadership team determined that it couldn't move forward with ACM without enacting more health and safety measures.
The investigation (which you can read in full here) details warnings that Twitter researchers made in February 2021 about the company not doing enough to detect and remove harmful sexual content, such as Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). The researchers are said to have informed the company that the enforcement system Twitter primarily uses, RedPanda, is “a legacy, unsupported tool” that is "by far one of the most fragile, inefficient and under-supported tools" it employs.
