Last week, the Communications and Information Ministry announced its plan to filter pornographic content by utilizing the SafeSearch feature in search engine Google.
Semuel A. Pangerapan, the ministry’s director general of applications and information, said the policy would come into effect starting Friday.
The SafeSearch feature will be permanently activated in the search engine when it is accessed from Indonesia.
“The method will filter any pornographic content in the image category, including if a user inputs keywords,” Semuel told
kompas.com on Thursday.
The permanent factor means that Indonesian users cannot deactivate the feature. In addition to Google, Semuel also said the government planned to collaborate with other search engines, such as Microsoft’s Bing to apply a similar filtering feature.
