No Porn for Indonesians from next month
Available reports suggest that Indonesia is going to pass a new bill that would supposedly, help Indonesians stray from the sinful act of the Internet, and that is Pornography.
Not only it is ridiculous to think that the House of Representatives has spent the time to make this bill, it is
even more ridiculous to think that it would actually work.
Everyone loves porn, it’s a known fact, or even if they don’t, they must have watched them.
Porn is as dirty as someone should get, and the government should not really have to worry what’s going on
behind the doors.
What he forgot to say is from what? And spreading porn, there is only one known Indonesian porn-making website, and people are not really spreading them, they just utilize it. And I am really sure, an ‘informational’ guy like Muhammad Nuh is one of them.
I come from Jakarta, and honestly, sex and porn are as easy as a pizza delivery. You just got to know the number nearest to you, and the place to go to, and of course, cash.
And to many surprises, widely circulated newspapers and magazines sold everywhere are great hubs for prostitution, as they are equipped with sexual classified ads.
Instead of starting from the internet, why doesn’t the government start a mass eradication of porn material
sold in the country?
With the significant increase of HIV/AIDS in South East Asia, and Indonesia topping the chart, why doesn’t the House of Representatives work on that instead, and gear the government to urgently do something about it?
And the worst side of this bill is the fact that Porn users are punishable to three year in jail, or/and pay a
heavy sum of money.
REACTION FROM THE INDONESIAN PORN SURFERS
There has been strong reaction among the porn surfers of Indonesia (in my wild assumption, if all Indonesians were given Internet access at homes, it would total up to 90 percent of the population).
The website of the Ministry of Information and Communication of Indonesia was defaced, in other word, hacked.
The homepage of the official website was replaced with sentences and lines that mocked the Bill, and one line said: “Prove that this law is not made to cover the idiocy of the government! Cihuyyyyyyyy (”Yay” in Indonesian)”
Muhammad Nuh did not respond to the hacker after allegedly had identified the culprit, and instead opted for the “soft approach”.
Women’s rights groups in Indonesia has once demonstrated that this sort of porn-bill would defy women of their freedom
of sexuality.
This is also related to the bill that failed to be passed that prohibited public kissing, which the officials said:
Saying that from the higher authority, Indonesian HOR should realize the reality of sex in Indonesia.
Instead of shying it away, they should enlighten the public with proper knowledge.
ON A RELATED NOTE,
Indonesia has strings of incidents whereby official websites are being hacked.
Malaysia’s tourism website www.rasasayang.com.my was hacked by the Indonesian hackers, and until now the site remains shut.
The latest incident (yesterday) was the hacking of the Indonesian largest political party, Golkar, with the main site being defaced.
Golkar Party
The website has been hacked 3 times, since the election of 2004.

I totally agree with you that the government should deal with the prostitutes first.
Yes this country need more minister like mohammad nuh. do more Mr !
I truly do not approve the provision in the law where they stated that the Government will criminalize those who access internet sites containing violent or pronographic material.
When you reach a certain age (such as 18 years in Indonesia or 21 years in other countries), it is reasonable to assume that you are a mature person and can determine which one is good and which is not good.
This law truly limits our freedom to express ourselves individually.
I totally agree with your point that there is no possible way that the government can ban pornography and i do not regard pornography in general as actions that can be criminilized.
I am in the position where I do not agree with child pornography but pornography in general is ok with me as long as it is accessed by people in a mature age.
I agree with you that the government should focus more on how to solve the AIDS problem in Indonesia and etc then to ban and block the internet.
Even the Fitna Movie, I think we have the right to access it so that we can have a knowledge on how people think about Islam and how to counter the arguments or clarify the reality.
