Pornhub blocked in Thailand due to Computer Crime law, reports Thai media

 

 

Thai media Daily News reported that many users of the porn video sharing website Pornhub were unable to access the site on Monday.

 

Users were getting a message saying it was blocked because of 2017 Computer Crime laws.

 

A total of 191 URLs were blocked because of obscene content and all Internet Service Providers had to comply with the court order. 

 

Though some users reported that they could view it as normal.

 

A Thaivisa check this morning resulted in a privacy warning.

 

Manager reported that it was the action of the Digital Economy and Society Ministry.

 

They said that the DE would soon be banning many gambling websites too. 

 

They pointed to the damage to society of internet porn and gambling. 

 

Pornhub has been criticised in the past for allowing non-consensual videos. 

 

It is the biggest such porn site in the world in terms of content and the third largest in terms of views, according to Wikipedia.

Not used Porn Hub as yet.  Guess I would need a VPN if I do....  Wow!  That amazing!  Some kind young man called at a girl's house to fix her plumbing!

This is a knee jerk reaction to trade agreements im sure with the US. This is all they can do? Thats sad. Good thing is all the other sites are up and running fine.

Here's what you do:

 

You go onto Google. You search for 'proxy'. You open the first proxy site you find and enter the URL of  whatever website you wanna view. Simples. 

 

Mate reckons he's been on all morning for research and it's working like a dream.
