The speculation is that as there is no guarantee that she could verify the identities of all the "participants", UK authorities could class OF as hosting CSAM and have the website shut down. It also doesn't help OF that the Daily Mirror just published an investigation into criminality being used to push content onto the site.
It might be a reaction to the forthcoming Online Safety Act in the UK where the requirements for age/ID verification and facial recognition will be so onerous and costly to websites that it would be better for OF to just dump the adult stuff by July. If they move to a country within the EU, that only buys them a year as the EU will be implementing the same requirements next year. Other countries outside the EU are following suit.
It's probably likely all the adult stuff will disappear from OF this year, if they want to survive and they'll transition to "girlfriend experiences" and an alternative to Patreon and SubscribeStar.
