There has been some great debates among the Muslim-majority Asian nation about whether or not to ban the access of pornographic materials. The government of Indonesia took the first step to restrict the access of pornographic materials from the web and went as far as making the “transmission of pornographic material on the Web” a criminal offense. Well it goes to show that when people want their porn they will stand up for what they believe is right, in respond with the government’s action, a couple of “web criminals” hacked into the website of the Information Ministry, and added their personal message and thoughts.

They placed a message on the web saying; “Prove that the law has not been made to cover government stupidity.” along with clowned up photos of Indonesian’s IT expert. The Indonesian government has countered the statement by saying that, they’re aware and worry about the negative effects of pornographic material on the society.

While its nice to see that the Indonesian government cares about their society and are making an attempt to protect the young minds from being corrupted by such materials, its also a shame to see a place where something can be restricted as widely at such a high level.
