I believe PornHub was taken down because it had movies of a very influential person in the country. Not movies that would fit his stature.

- toastal 5y agoWell that too; I can't quite remember but it's still the case that the default alternative platform to post videos that were harder to ban instead of YouTube was on PornHub. For those that don't know, there is/was a video of this person at a pool party with multiple women and if it were anyone else not an eyelid would be batted. Most every YouTube video even talking objectively, like the one by RealLifeLore, about lèse-majesté is blocked inside Thailand because it's easy for the government to coerce Google. There is a lot of specific censorship to save face. The Wikipedia page still exists though (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A8se-majest%C3%A9_in_Thailand https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A8se-majest%C3%A9_in_Thai...) which has a section about internet censorship.
