A Note to OFCOM

The Online Safety Act 2023 came into effect on March 17, 2025, and enforcement of age verification for pornographic material came into effect on July 25th, 2025.

I have taken care throughout my site to post images which, while suggestive in nature, are not pornographic. While less clothing might be worn, no nudity is depicted, nor are pornographic objects. Any implements depicted are very light, do not cause harm or marks, and are used over clothing - nothing more than would appear in a 15 rated film.

I therefore do not believe there is a need under law for credit-card backed Age Verification. In the spirit of the law, which aims to protect children, the most precious people in our society, I have placed a landing page warning users they must be 18+ to enter, in order to prevent potential "cyberflashing." I only advertise on directories specifically designed for finding adult services, and do not post to social media platforms with a large child user-base.

I work alone, as is required by law, and practice sex work entirely legally. I do not incite others to participate in sex work.

While I have read the guidance carefully and done my utmost to comply with it and protect children, much of the wording in the legislation is not clearly defined. This is likely because it was written more broadly, meant to target dangerous paedophiles and prevent minors from stumbling across something by accident. I am doing my best to comply despite this ambiguity.

If you have any revisions you would like me to make to my site in order to better comply with regulations, please contact me at sayhello@mistressarabella.pro. I would be eager to learn more about the application of this law/implementation guidance, as a former professional in the legal tech space and a responsible citizen who is very dedicated to the safeguarding of young people.
