The governmental decision to validate the Undang-undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2008Tentang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik actually provides a better vision and mission.Taking account the low level effort of improving internet penetration, the governmentattempts to protect the national asset (youth generation) from the effect of Internet-basedpornography content.

One of its articles shocking the virtual world will be Article 27. The articleexplains the prohibited conducts. More specific, Article 27 verse (1) considers the morality.Some disagree with this Act because Internet provides so much pornography content.
