At least three Internet companies say they have blocked access to YouTube and MySpace because of an anti-Islam film by a Dutch lawmaker.
The move Tuesday was in response to a decree issued on April 2 by the Communication and Information Ministry.
IndosatM2, a popular Internet Service Provider, and two others, namely Telkomnet Speedy and IndoNet, said they had temporarily blocked YouTube, Multiply and other video-sharing Web sites.
According to IndosatM2 customer service officer, Deddy, in addition to YouTube, popular social networking website, MySpace and video sharing site Liveleak, were also blocked since Monday.
"The ban is based on a ministerial decree from the Information and Communication Ministry related to a recent criminal act,” Deddy told The Jakarta Post, referring to the hosting of an anti-Islam film by Dutch right-wing lawmaker Geert Wilders, 'Fitna'.
"We cannot say when the ban will be lifted, but until we receive a follow-up instruction from the DepKomInfo, the blockade will remain,” he added. [kutamaya]
