A Portuguese consumer advocacy group, Citizen's Voice, has filed a class-action lawsuit against Fenix International, the parent company of OnlyFans. The lawsuit targets all Portugal-based users who have subscribed to OnlyFans, accusing the platform of deceptive practices and privacy violations.
The lawsuit alleges that OnlyFans allows content creators to use teams known as "chatters" to manage interactions with subscribers. These chatters, often hired by agencies or the platform itself, impersonate creators and engage in conversations under false identities. As a result, subscribers believe they are directly communicating with the creators they follow, potentially sharing personal and intimate information with unknown third parties.
Filed in the Lisbon Central Civil Court, the lawsuit seeks compensation for affected users, including refunds for subscription fees and damages for privacy breaches. It also calls for a ban on these deceptive practices in Portugal.
This legal action follows similar lawsuits in other countries, including the United States, where OnlyFans has faced accusations of fraud. Citizen's Voice argues that misleading advertising and privacy risks make these practices unacceptable, as users are paying for personal interactions that are, in reality, managed by hired impersonators.
The case could have major implications for OnlyFans' operations in Portugal and may influence how the platform conducts business in other regions.
