Tl;dr
In India, this conduct is prosecuted under Information Technology Act sections 66E and 67/67A. The civil erasure route runs through Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (right to erasure under section 12) and DPB India. Where the host platform is subject to US jurisdiction, the TAKE IT DOWN Act adds a 48 hour platform removal obligation in parallel.
Why this happens
OnlyFans content is leaked through subscriber screen recording, account credential theft, and bulk scraping operations. Some leak rings operate at industrial scale and target hundreds of creators per week.
Leak sites frequently use the creator's verified OnlyFans username in titles, which is unique evidence connecting the leaked content to the source account and supports OnlyFans subpoenas to identify the leaking subscriber.
Legal framework in India
Information Technology Act 2000 sections 66E (violation of privacy) and 67/67A (publishing or transmitting obscene or sexually explicit material), plus BNS section 77 (replacing IPC s.354C). Section 66E: up to 3 years imprisonment or fine up to INR 2 lakh. Section 67A: first conviction up to 5 years and INR 10 lakh fine, subsequent up to 7 years.
India layers IT Act criminal provisions, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita voyeurism offence, and the DPDP Act erasure right. The IT Rules 2021 impose a 24 hour intermediary takedown obligation specifically for non consensual intimate imagery, separate from the criminal route.
