Indonesia
The Internet in Indonesia has been
expanding rapidly. Although broadband subscriptions are relatively
expensive, users have been accessing
the Internet through mobile telephones and Internet caf é s. As the
Internet market continues to grow,
the Indonesian government has
become increasingly sensitive about
pornographic and anti-Islamic online
content. This concern has led to the
creation of a number of laws to regulate such content on the Internet and sparked
discussions within the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology
on how best to regulate content deemed “ illegal ” under the new laws. The circulation of two celebrity sex videos on the Internet sparked a government clampdown on pornographic Web content in the summer of 2010, despite opposition
from the public.
