Telkom blocked more sites

in Media, Personal, Services, Sites, Thought

A sad news for people in Indonesia who use internet, including bloggers. Few days ago, some people reported that YouTube was blocked from their internet providers. Telkom Indonesia as the largest internet provider in Indonesia followed the action. According to the news release (in Bahasa Indonesia) Telkom blocked these following sites (including blogging service providers):

  • Youtube
  • MySpace
  • Metacafe
  • Rapidshare
  • Multiply
  • Liveleak
  • Themovief****.com

Sad, really sad. There is no further information about how long this situation will happen. Anyway, about the reason: those sites are blocked because it contains articles/posts about a video. One thing we have to remember is that: only because of a single content material. Too bad. Anyway, Boy Avianto has a very great article about the issue.

    Masih banyak cara lain untuk akses misalnya pake website yang menyediakan layanan bypass proxy seperti http://www.surfbypass.info/

    atau kalo mau lebih banyak, cari di google dengan keyword “proxy bypass” atau “anonymus surfing”

    GAMPANG BANGET……..

    At least you can still see Facebook… seriously though they’ve blocked half the internet :/ What about other providers, have they done the same?

    I think the situation is much better now. The blocking mechanism had been changed. It’s the single URL instead of the whole site.

    About the providers, well… there was an official letter from the govt about this blocking. So… it was official.
