Singapore Crack Down on OnlyFans

[PeterRS]

He is 22 yo. Like many he was having a hard time making ends meet during the pandemic. Six months ago he decided to try and raise some more cash by going naked on OnlyFans. Soon the site enabled him to gain financial independence.

But things are never that easy in conservative Singapore - conservative when it comes to matters of nudity and sex. In October last year police arrived and confiscated Titus Low's phone, iPad and details of his Only Fans account. Allegedly they stated he had transmitted obscene materials through his OnlyFans account. He was warned not to access the account any more as it would amount to a criminal offence. Allegedly, according to the police, he continued posting on his account and even opened a second one. In late December he was handcuffed and arrested. The two charges could result in up to 6 months in jail and a fine of S$5,000.

Professor of Law, Eugene Tan, has stated, "Those using the platform to produce and transmit obscene material are in the crosshairs of the [authorities]. Where the authorities know of their involvement, it is a question of when, rather than whether, the law will catch up with them." He adds, "In some jurisdiction like the UK and the US, the production and transmission of obscene material is not illegal ... [and] often connected with freedom of speech. The topic of sex is still one that remains largely taboo in conservative Singapore - a country where gay sex is still technically a crime and there are strict laws around sex work. The making, transmitting and sharing of obscene material is widely accepted as not being in accord with moral standards and norms of Singapore."

Back home, Low says he will now concentrate on posting on other sites like YouTube. His problem is that he will still be breaking the law which covers all allegedly obscene material transmitted by electronic means.

Rather surprisingly as he is not on OnlyFans, my partner decided last night to see if he could find any of Titus Low's video material. Two turned up on a regular porn site. One is straightforward stripping and masturbating on camera. The other, though, has major SM influences with him clad in leather and someone off camera using a sort of whip and vibrator. I wonder if it is the latter that got the authorities interested? Would he have got away with just nudity and jerking off? We''ll probably never know!

I think he is on onlyfans before but now he deleted the account due to being harrases by the authority. The leaked videos have the onlyfans watermark.

It always amazes me, and not in a good way, how many former colonies have moved past almost everything from the colonial period except the sexual mores of those times.

Blame the British! It was the Victorian anti-sodomy law passed by parliament in London in the 1860s that quite quickly found itself on the statute books of British colonies whether the local peoples wanted it or not. The British, after all, regarded themselves as a 'civilising' force for the good of those barbarians they ruled. It has always struck me as a total shame on the British anti-colonisers who post 2nd World War pushed to grant colonies independence without ensuring that British-imposed laws were first of all repealed before departure. That England then repealed that very law in the 1960s is a damning indictment.

Hong Kong did not repeal that law until 1990 - and only did so because for the forthcoming Chinese rule the territory needed a bill of rights. Its civil servants had pushed a widely welcomed Law Reform Commission Report to repeal the sodomy law into limbo for more than 6 years.

People forget that as Lee Kwan Yew was developing Singapore into an enviable economic power turning what was effectively a swamp into one of the the wonders of post War world where far more own their own homes etc. than in almost any other country, he did so using draconian measures. He brooked no opposition and threw people in jail without trial. He sued left, right and centre all those who directed criticism about Singapore's policies - and indeed himself. But he always said that Singapore was a very delicate balancing act between the three main ethic and religious groups of Chinese, Malay and Indians - with a very small smattering of what has become an especially vocal and influential evangelical Christian movement - to avoid racial strife. We may consider Singapore behind the times in issues of morality, but then who are we to say that Lee was wrong?

Singapore's OnlyFans, TikTok, Twitter and other internet sites celebrity porn star Titus Low has been in the news again. Having been arrested for uploading allegedly obscene content on the OnlyFans last December, he's been at it again. He was re-arrested in February on charges of having uploaded 20 obscene photos and 14 videos on to another OnlyFans site.

Always claiming to be bisexual, Low's paid content has always attracted girls as well as boys. One viewer claimed his attraction is having the face of a K-Pop star with a tattooed body of a body builder - although it seems he is not very well endowed!! Now he has surprised everyone by allegedly getting married. He met his Malaysian girlfriend and married her two weeks later. Understandably this has led to a lot of speculation about the reasons for the soon-to-be 23-year old going into such a shot-gun marriage. A way to help with his court case?
