Pornography is Not about BlackBerry

On the other side, the company also did not give a quick response to the problems related to Blackberry in Indonesia since two years ago, she said. In 2009, Tifatul had asked RIM to set up a server in Indonesia but it had been realized in October last year. Guntur Siboro, the marketing manager of Aora TV, said that the demands proposed by the minister were unclear and unfocused.

"It’s just fabricating and out of the main context. Blocking internet service of a provider is not like a piece of cake," he said.

Blocking an internet service couldn’t be done to a certain service provider only, he said.There were three ways of internet service blocking, from the operator, the device and the users, he said.

Blocking the porn site from the operator and device couldn’t be applied to all users. Such blocking was worked sorting certain words related to pornography, such as girl, sex, porn, etc.

"But not few people need information related to those words, so pornography is not the technology’s mistake," the observer said.

In relation to the local content of Indonesia, the former marketing manager of Indosat said that not only Blackberry which was given the policy, all social networks should be applied also, like Facebook and Twitter.

"So, in my opinion blocking the user is the most effective way if the government wants to fight for pornography. The user should be educated to make use of internet as wise as possible," he said.

If the government wanted to hunk the porn sites entering the country, it should not be half way. The government might block all the internet services, so it’s better for the country to be free from Internet services, but only if the government dared to do it, he said.
