The clips depicted the individual throwing, kicking, and roughly handling cats, prompting outrage from animal welfare advocates.

Thailand Launches Online Court System for Removal of Explicit Material

Thailand’s judiciary has rolled out a new online portal that allows individuals to directly request removal of explicit content without first going through the police.

Once approved, the court notifies platform operators to take down the material, expediting the process. Although this simplifies removal, those seeking compensation must still pursue further legal action.
