BlackBerry maker Research In Motion (RIM) made an announcement this Thursday that it has started Internet filtering on its smartphones in Indonesia. The Indonesian government had issued a deadline for RIM to begin blocking porn websites. RIM complied with it. This is the first time that such a move has been made in any country.
“RIM is now in the process of implementing an Internet content-filtering solution that addresses our carrier partners’ regulatory obligations in Indonesia” RIM said.
In response, Indonesian Communication Minister Tifatul Sembiring—who has been at the forefront of the government’s efforts to clamp down on pornography—said on his Twitter account; “Thank God RIM has complied with Indonesian regulations. Pornography has been blocked. Please go ahead with business as usual in compliance with the law.”

good to know that Mr. Tifatul Sembiring had tried to block pornographies in Indonesia, but in the other side, pornographies still glow here, not only from smartphone like blackberry, but also from other phones. Blackberry is so complicated as a smartphone here. but good job Mr. Tifatul
yeah good step indeed …it should be followed by nokia and others.
pornography must be banned by each cell phone companies
That appears to be fine but i am just still not too sure that I like it. However will look a lot more into it and decide personally!
