Cencorship of Internet in Indonesia
Sign Now
Well not anymore.
It started with the making of the new ITE constitution,a new regulation to control electronic transaction via the internet.
which is good actually.
However, the people in power slyly insert some extra rules that allow them to block informations that they dislike, and the ISP (Internet Service Provider)is forced to comply with them by blocking said information.
In only 5 days after the regulation came in effect, the government has censored a lot of information from its people.
First they censored pornographic content. even adults can't access it anymore
Then, they banned blogspot. yes, apparently they dislike blogs.
Then, when I woke up this morning, guess what I find out?
THEY HAVE BANNED YOUTUBE!
Yup, the government decided to ban youtube over one video that they don't like.
Remember this is only the 5th day after the regulation came in effect.
Soon enough they'll ban Wikipedia, MySpace, Metacafe, rapidshare and maybe half of the internet for publishing information that they don't like.
We'll be the next china.
I know this doesn't directly relate to some of you who doesn't live in Indonesia, but I sincerely hope that you can sign the petition,
to show these people that their action is condemned by the whole world.
The words of us Indonesian alone won't be heard by the government,
but if enough people from around the world sign the petition, I hope that their eyes will be opened.
Please save us, 240+ millions of Indonesian from being surpressed.
Thanks before
