Banning Online P0rn0raphy
Sunday, February 24th, 2008Again, a move by our dearest government that shows what ignorant people they are.
First of all, it does NOT address the problem. P0rn0graphy is all over the place; banning it is not the smartest move. And it is my personal opinion that the Government has no right to do this. We are not children.
Second, who can guarantee this move will stop people from accessing p0rn on the Net? If anything, I bet the hackers out there are revved to get their hands on those virtual bars, trying to tear them down.
Third, apparently the government do not remember their sayings well. The Indonesians have this saying, "Tak ada rotan, akar pun jadi." Which means that people will make do with the next best thing.
Camera- and video-phone are all over Indonesia, in the hands of teenagers by a large percentage. I personally believe that the curious and the depraved ones will use the gadget to create some Do-It-Yourself. God help us all.
This move is again just a show of power from the Parliament. Nothing good will come out of this.
