Porn to be wild

Good to see hackers are attacking the really important freedom of speech issues in the world, as last week they defaced the web site of Indonesia’s information ministry.
“Prove that the law has not been made to cover government stupidity,” the message said, accompanied by a picture of a local IT expert. Was the hacker responding to the controversial draft laws on freedom of expression in Indonesia?
Er, sort of. He (we’re guessing it’s a he) was objecting to Indonesia’s plan to ban access to internet pornography – a move that will surely give Indonesia’s businesses a significant and unfair productivity advantage over their Western counterparts.
