Indonesia’s Internet censorship plan faces stumbling blocks

Indonesia’s deeply religious Information Minister wants a porn filter in place before the start of Ramadhan this year, just over a week away.

Industry experts cast severe doubts on the plan and explains why. To run a filter would severely tax the country’s already slow Internet connections and place a heavy burden on Internet providers all over the country.

Despite the demand, there has been no move by the Ministry to determine what is and what isn’t acceptable according to the minister’s standard.
