The Indonesian government has ordered the country’s internet service providers to block YouTube for publishing the 15-minute anti-Muslim film “Fitna”, made by Dutch MP Geert Wilders, leader of the anti-immigration Freedom Party (PVV). Some of the country’s ISPs followed the block order, but “Fitna” could still be viewed through other providers.

“A letter was sent to Internet providers asking them to block any site or blog posting the film Fitna (…) Not only YouTube has uploaded the film, so it is up to the ISPs’ discretion to block these sites,” a Communications and Information Ministry Official is quoted as saying.

Earlier this week, Indonesia had threatened to block YouTube unless the video-sharing web site removed the aforementioned movie.

well, is this a wise act?

YOGYAKARTA, March 28, 2008 - Even fast between the companies by a law adopted yesterday was officially 'Information and Electronic Transaction Law' hot. This disguised anti-pornography legislation tomorrow. Because of the high speed at which the latest monstrosity against the freedom of the press is pushed through, there is little attention. It is a little here everyday it seems, but it is plainly absurd that a law approved yesterday, and three days later active, especially a law that will have as much impact as this one. Theoretically then.

The Act itself provides that any person who deals with the production of, or even watching pornographic material and ethically irresponsible to six years behind bars may disappear. On top is still a fine of up to 1 billion Rupiah (about 70,000 euros). A creator is thus punished as loud as a user. To prevent a user simply unwanted things on his screen it will in the future be a filter established by the internet providers. They must then go block this content. To make things speed up, the Ministry of Information for a free filter what can be downloaded on the website of the ministry.

With the above description it is clear that this legislation is a major gatenkaas, even if this in a country where corruption is something less than here. A government which states that 'something's coming' we now know all. From postponement comes adjustment, so that rural internetfilter sploh will never come. Moreover, such a thing be maintained, because the website is changing for many filter already sufficient to outside force to be. Maintenance is another weak point here in Indonesia, so if it ever established, it is already obsolete within a few days, and something that is outdated in the closet to put it is eaten by termites.

The adoption of a law is something else as their implementation. The penalty is the same for a producer as well as for a customer. Strange, but true. And if you do not want brommen you pay 1 billion fine. Hardly anyone has 1 billion here, not even in Rupiah, because that is 70,000 euro fine for watching a beautiful lady with a little less clothing than in the average FHM, because that has been good and will probably naked in the 'porn 'go. Thus the following problem. I have not read the new law, but the term "pornography" is of course open to wide interpretation. And that is wide indeed a bit funny intended.

A producer of photos with women who average fewer clothes to have their photos will not contain nudity, but art, or at the very least artistic freedom. However, a man who screams at a meeting that tourists maggots, worms and snakes, will probably consider that a woman without boerka (a penguin and popularly) ridiculous walking around naked, let alone the average tourist in Bali, such as the best man himself quoted. Given the wide range of views and assessments, there had better be defined exactly when someone or something can be classified as' porn ', although of course a completely absurd situation, but look:

"A photo of a woman with the shoulders completely uncovered and that the armpits under any angle to see. The woman needs to be clothes that double standards adopted to be wider than the actual size clothes that women need, for any forms of the body disguise, as it might have lead to the visibility of her underwear. hair of women should be at least ten centimeters lower than the shoulders hang to the possibility of a naked upper prevent. " And then it is not even talking about the actual porn where the legislation apparently not even a look at it, because such products are probably not sploh in Indonesia, at least, we believe that this is not the case, that there are no laws needed .

In a random photo shoot for FHM as a website will therefore probably a police officer on the ground should try to see if the situation fully in order. Should this not be the case then Mr. perhaps an extra zakcentje agent and he may also simply continue to look at the whole as fair exchange for his services. But it would obviously already quite ridiculous if it ever comes to that there are actually officials who go check, both on the street and on the internet. Unfortunately, that last thing aannemelijker, because if an invasion does to any Internet cafe since it is often quite a bit of money to get in exchange for the fact to take licences. Nothing statutory provision, but simply zakkenvullerij stick with the law with one another empty content.

What more needs to be feared are the people who are entirely voluntary, and often in the name of a religion, raise themselves as protectors of the unskilled people and law enforcement officials with their own laws. They will probably respond to welcome the introduction of such legislation unclear precisely so that they can steer in the direction they want to see. A new pole in joining the store then, and then the real anti-porn legislation has not even formally introduced. But with a weak group of representatives as in the Volksraad will also other laws of this radical soon as the agreement of a majority of them. Where it ends no one knows, but it would be instead of this ongein better able to deal with the real needs in Indonesia. Child pornography, for example, because nobody will tell me that something does not exist.

One owner says less than 20 percent of his customers use the Internet to access adult websites

The Jakarta Post
Monday, March 31, 2008

Internet cafe (warnet) owners say a new law banning online pornography will not affect their business because it will do little to stop people from accessing adult sites.

"There are many ways for Internet users to get around any kind of block put on porn sites," said Prahasta, who runs a warnet in Tebet, South Jakarta.

He said he did not oppose the law, which is on electronic information and transaction, but doubted it would succeed in blocking access to pornographic sites.

"Porn site owners and developers have their own ways of making it easier for users to access their sites.

"For example, they can use 'subtle' names for their sites, instead of explicit ones," said Prahasta, who has run his warnet since 2007.

Another warnet owner, Yara, said he was not worried about losing customers to the new law.

"Even though the Internet is an easy source of pornographic (materials), there are still more people who use the Internet for other purposes than browsing nude pictures or downloading porn movies," said the 30-year-old owner of a warnet in Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta.

He said fewer than 20 percent of his customers accessed adult-oriented websites.

"I can have around 150 customers each day, and most of them use computers to play online games, chat or update their online accounts," said Yara, who makes around Rp 800,000 (US$87) per day.

However, he said officials would find it difficult to completely block access to adult sites.

"Unless they can block people's minds from dirty thoughts, I don't see how the law would work."

Roy Suryo, a telecommunications and cyber expert who played a key role in drafting the law, said Internet providers were the key to blocking Internet pornography.

"Local Internet providers are what I like to call the upstream controllers, while Internet cafes and personal users are the downstream ones.

"If Internet providers block porn sites, then Internet cafes and personal users won't be able to access them," he said.

Roy admitted "downstream controllers" were harder to regulate because they might be getting their Internet connections from sources outside the country.

"Even if the government cuts off porn access with a local Internet provider's help, anybody with links to overseas Internet providers can still view pornographic materials," he said.

He called on the government to implement a reward system for Internet providers that block access to adult sites.

"If the government is serious about blocking online porn, it should think about rewarding local Internet providers that have direct links to overseas Internet providers," Roy said.

On March 25, the House of Representatives passed a bill threatening to jail users and providers of pornographic websites with a maximum of three years in prison or a fine of up to Rp 1 billion (US$107 million).

The Information and Communications Ministry has offered the public software to block websites with adult content, available for download at its official website.

In response to the law, several local sites have begun closing links and images containing pornographic materials.

The Internet community site kaskus.us on Saturday began blocking access to its BB17 service, which contained pornographic images and links to adult sites.

Kaskus is one of the most popular Internet sites in Indonesia. It is ranked fifth after such heavyweights as Yahoo, Friendster and Google as the most popular site in the country, according to Internet traffic tracker Alexa.com.
