She was looking up a torrent site which specialises in porn.

I'm guessing that's the reason.

Could be that porn is banned, or could but that the problem is the torrent side, not the porn side.

That is incorrect. It's a generic torrent site.

Why she? Karthikey is a male name and the youtube streams show a male face. (Of course it's just a weak signal that can be overriden with an autor's declaration!)

Huh, tried this on my phone and I get an error "DNS points to local or disallowed IP" page from Cloudflare. Either they've experienced some sort of nameserver registry level takedown or they've messed up their DNS.
