@ Rob – from my work experience in the UK definitions is key ..and for me if this is they way they are
heading for legislation, a strong implementation framework needs to be put in place as it feels too broad
with too many gaps…in the UK for example whilst it is illegal to hold child porn, it is still not a criminal
offence under the Obscene Publications Act…
This thread and the other similar topic discussions forum is very interesting, especially when I am due to
go back to Indonesia next year to work in this area….

Mets…
You’re coming back to Indonesia to work in the porn industry? Big move!
Just Kidding!
The problem is the definition and the scope for interpretation. There will be issues of consistency and
uniformity among the laws covering the same basic material.
The bill is problematic.
With a bit of luck the amendments to the criminal code will make a reappearance for your return to
Indonesia. Now there is a fun bill to discuss.

I would like to object on moral policing, but now that I think of it, is there anyone that takes law seriously
these days?

Agree 100%, the bill as it is now is very dangerous and too broad for interpretation, specially these days
with the rise of fundamentalism/fanaticism.
The bigger problem is the DPRs don’t really care for the impact of this bill to the population when it
become laws as long as they are re-elected for the next term. To the DPRs debating this bill is just wasting
time and no money in it. They are more interested in the ‘fit and proper test” process for the BUMN
candidate positions, that’s where the money is, where the candidate bids and the position goes to the
highest bidder.
I sense a new revolution is brewing.
