Jakarta: Minister of Communication and Information, Muhamamad Nuh, announced his department to block websites with negative content including pornography sites. "We pledged our commitment and APJI CPI to block sites in the negative," he said after the launch of broadband Learning Center at the Al-Akbar, Surabaya, last Friday.
This is a response to the concern of religious figures to Internet-based information technology at places of worship in East Java. They worry that their supporters will misuse of the Internet for pornographic sites.
Nuh said three methods for closing content sites negative. Firstly, the dissemination to the public and also to leave behind the software to block sites.
Secondly, the block of the international network with a direct connection through a special software. The network will only be connected to the network within the country. "If it does not work, there will be a third method, which is the central blockade directly from the sites that we consider not guaranteed."
According to the Director of Software and Information Systems, Loly Amalia, the guideline for blocking sites sexual violence and plans to be completed in April-May. This guideline was established as a ministerial regulation.
The main consideration of this policy is the possibility of a bad influence on children. "Children are now the main target of paedophilia over the Internet," said Tempo yesterday. Another type of site to be blocked is a site of violence. For example a site that teaches how to make a bomb. "A cruel and violent sites, especially those that have potential for harm to the nation, must be seen".
At first, the content of the Internet is limited only by ethics. Now, the government makes a firm move. Loly said that the mechanism of this limitation will be implemented through the observation phase in which there will be a verification of rape, warning, and the blockade. Special Teams will be established to monitor and follow up on complaints from the community.
