Taboo Is Banned in Some Places for Its Fetish Themes
In some countries, taboo is considered to be too sexualized and therefore prohibited for viewing by the general public. This can lead to consequences such as legal action against those who possess it.
Many people enjoy watching pornography and using sex toys but there are certain types of material that may have been deemed too extreme for some audiences. For example, bondage or sadomasochistic scenes could be seen as abusive and exploitative which would make them unacceptable in mainstream media outlets. Taboo contains these elements so it was restricted or banned in many places around the world because it did not fit their standards for what should be allowed on television screens and streaming services.
If you're wondering why your favorite show isn't available where you live, this could be one reason behind it!
