Indonesians split over anti-porn law - 30 Oct 2008

Supporters of a controversial "morality law" say it is necessary to fight pornography and save Indonesia from immoral behaviour.

But critics argue that the controversial new legislation amounts to censorship, and poses a threat to freedom of expression and the country's cultural diversity.

@oseanic1980 porn is human explotation not rights.. the fact that you are defending it shows how perverted and shameless you are.. i'm not even religious .. im not a muslim

It's not religion, it's selfishness and pride. That's what drives porn, people to do stupid things, and why the us will never outlaw a billion dollar business. Money talks louder then morals

[flipperboy]
