Tifatul threatens to ban BlackBerry service over pornographic content

Communication and Information Minister Tifatul Sembiring has threatened to close BlackBerry service in Indonesia should its producer, Research In Motion Ltd., refuses to block pornographic content.



Tifatul said that he had requested RIM to block adult content for BlackBerry service in the country. “If they are still not responding to our request, we have to close it down,” he added as quoted by kompas.com.



The banning on pornographic site on the Net is in line with 2008 anti-pornography law, said the minister.



“RIM may violates our law if it remains providing porn content in its service (in Indonesia),” added Tifatul.
