Contains adult themes: this story discusses new UK laws on pornographic images. This is not legal advice. Nothing explicit is described.
In brief: Scottish adult creator Alice Mayflower, who has been reviewing her back catalogue ahead of three new UK offences that take effect Nov. 6, said on X on Nov. 3 that content she deletes on FapHouse “won’t actually be removed for 365” days. That figure is hers; FapHouse’s public terms do not set out a deletion period. A day later she said JustForFans had introduced automatic flagging.
Deadlines are easier to meet when the delete button actually deletes.
Alice Mayflower has spent the run-up to Nov. 6 going through her old content, as Channel 304 previously reported. On Nov. 3 she hit a snag on one platform. “Just starting to comb through my FapHouse content and I’m just now realising that something I delete won’t actually be removed for 365 after I try to delete it… So how the hell is that going to interact with the new UK laws?” she wrote, tagging the site’s support account.

What we could check
The 365-day figure is her account of what she saw while deleting. Channel 304 read FapHouse’s public terms and conditions, which give the site broad rights to remove content but do not state how long a creator’s own deletion takes. 365 days does appear in those terms, but as one of the subscription lengths fans can buy, not as a deletion rule.
Her question is a fair one. Under UK government guidance covered in our earlier story, from Nov. 6 it is an offence in England and Wales to possess or publish pornographic images realistically depicting strangulation or suffocation, sex between people who appear to be related, or someone who is, or is pretending to be, under 16. Publishing carries up to five years. If a creator clicks delete and a video stays up for a year, who is publishing it? She asked. Nobody had answered.
Meanwhile, at JustForFans
On Nov. 4 she posted an update after logging back in to another site. “Welp, after staying up until nearly 1 am last night going through all my content and online posts, I’ve had a sort of lovely surprise as I logged back into JustForFans for the first time, and they’ve introduced a system that automatically flags content they think…” The post is marked 1/2, and Channel 304 could see only that first part, so we are not filling in the rest.

The clock
So, to recap: one platform she says is slow to delete, one that she says is now flagging things for her, and a legal deadline that arrives on Friday either way. Mayflower has been doing the homework in public. The platforms have until Nov. 6 to show theirs.
