Popular Post webfact Posted May 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2020 Netizens get hot under the collar after Internet provider blocks adult website By The Nation An Internet provider that admitted blocking a popular adult video website made a quick U-turn and restored the site after exasperated Thai netizens created an online storm. The drama unfolded after a woman asked the unnamed Internet provider on Twitter if it had blocked the famous adult video website Pornhub. The provider claimed at first that it had simply limited the Internet speed but then admitted to blocking access to the website as it contained “inappropriate content”. Netizens were quick to voice their anger and frustration, arguing it was their right to watch videos on Pornhub without being monitored and demanding in no uncertain terms that access be restored forthwith. The provider subsequently retracted its words and announced that its clients can now access the website and other adult sites.

Banned when Prayut took over from the elected Government . A few months back someone posted a link to an English translation of the legislation. Producing or selling for profit it most definitely illegal. Possessing or watching is most definitely not illegal. Uploading was a bit ambiguous if not for profit.

A little known secret is that the Thais block these sites because they want horny men to spend their money in the Thai flesh trade. There's no money in letting blokes waste their resources onto tissues in their condos. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I would never intentionally try one of these sites without using a VPN. But I was puzzled to see how much hardcore porn is hidden in Twitter!

sqwakvfr Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 1) Pornhub is or was the 10th most popular website in LOS. 2) Does AIS or DTAC also block pornhub?? 3) What about youporn?? So many unanswered questions. The Government might have to allow these websites because the adult “entertainment” venues may not come back for a long time or possibly ever at all.

Once you open and view then you are on their nasty views porn list. Would not want anyone official knocking on my door saying I committed a crime. Not worth it.
