The complete ban of porn websites in observance of the Ramadhan fasting month
is impossible, the Minister of Communication and Information Tifatul Sembiring
said.
"A 100 percent ban is impossible, but it's the effort that counts,"
he said on Tuesday.
He added that he would not know the percentage of porn websites that could be
blocked pending a meeting with Internet service providers later in the
afternoon.
He also added that the blocking would be keyword based.
"The filtering will be based on keywords, not the websites," he said,
adding that the keyword list would be updated regularly to accommodate new
keywords associated with porn websites. (gzl)
