The Need to Block the Terrorist, LGBT and Radical Media Sites

Tsunami of social media and media sites online that are less wise and less mature in its management should be addressed explicitly by the government, particularly the Ministry of Communications and Information (Kominfo) as the form of the presence of the state in protecting its citizens from false information or hoaxes, which undermine nationalism, endanger national integration and as a "foreign comprador" in Indonesia.
 Therefore, it is actually the Ministry of Communications and Information'sright step to block 11 online media sites that considered to contain negative content, especially in recognition of Imam Wahyudi, a member of the Press Council said that the blocked sites was not listed as a media.

As the Ministry of Communications and Information blocked 11 sites that deemed to contain negative content. This time, the websites were blocked by the Ministry of Communications and Information entered into the database Trust+Positive. 11 sites are as follows voa-islam.com, nahimunkar.com, kiblat.net, bisyarah.com, dakwahtangerang.com, islampos.com, suaranews.com, izzamedia.com, gensyiah.com, muqawamah.com and abuzubair.net. These 11 blocked sites is the work of about 200 sites and online media that are believed to negatively charge. Before the 11th of this site, the Ministry of Communications and Information also block thousands of other sites. One of them www.habibrizieq.com, which is a great site belongs to Imam FPI, Habib Rizieq.

"Of the 200 sites, that indicated 11 earlier. Its first ninewere indicated regarding to the negative content such as defamation, provocation, the issue of ethnicity, religion, race and intergroup (SARA), and insults state symbols. While the 10th was due to phishing, and 11th for malware," said Noor Iza, from the Ministry of Communications and Information.

These sites has blocked by government because it was judged to spread a hoaxes and the issue of ethnicity, religion, race and intergroup (SARA). The site also considered disturbing the public.

According to Imam Wahyudi, the Press Council cannot protect the 11 mediaby Act No. 40 of 1999 on the Press because it is not registered. Imam mentioned it also cannot take the role of a mediator between the 11 mediaby the Ministry of Communication and Information for the same reason. The good media or company news, can shelter under the umbrella of the law. However it was only media whose content meet the standards of press products.

"An outline of how the Press Council examines the feasibility of mass media. The Press Council will evaluate the content or the 'meat' of the media news products. Media will not be considered as press when the content does not meet the elements of journalism. The Press Council also has the authority to repudiate the status of a media as the press. That is if the media is continuously violating the rules of journalism," he said.

According to the authors, the Indonesian people should support the government's move to block these sites, let alone benchmarks or indicators that are used are very clear that as long as the content is contrary to regulations, laws, hatespeech, pornography, child abuse, and spreading nudity (pornography) will be cleared by government.
According to the Minister of Communications and Information the blocking were done by requiring all internet service providers (ISP or ISP). Although all ISPs are required to block, but there is already done it and some are not.

LGBT Spreader Sites Should Be Blocked

Social change in the latest period was characterized by the three: the first is spectacular, suddenly without us getting ready, suddenly with the development, this is a process. Second, Mondial changes which nothing in the world will survive, all layers of felt to the poorest countries, the third is radical change, affect the fundamental in our country. The three types of social change can be played as a "proxy war" by the "foreign compradors" to undermine social values, cultural values, and most importantly damage the values recognized religions in Indonesia.

One form of destructive social change is the rising phenomenon of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT). By the supporters, socialization and the "promotion" of LGBT done through certain online sites, including through social media.

Therefore, the authors suggested that news sites and social media that "promote" LGBT should also be blocked, although this step is getting resistance from public institutions, among others Monitoring Forum Block Internet, stating flatly rejected an attempt to block sites LGBT community - lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. According to them, blocking without any indication of violations of the law is illegal.

Action rejection of 17 pro LGBT organizations in Indonesia, led by demand of Representatives Commission I to the Ministry of Communications and Information to take action to block the Internet sites managed LGBT community or organization.

The author also support the Indonesian Child Protection Commission which requested that the Forum Handling known Internet Site Charged Negative (Forum Block) managed to block the communication and information technology to perform some of the sites of the organization or the LGBT community. MUI itself has issued Fatwa MUI No. 57 Year 2014 on Lesbian, Gay, sodomy, and sexual abuse. In this fatwa, LGBT forbidden because it is called is "a crime".

The reasons given by those who opposed news sites LGBT blocked include: under Article 28 A of the 1945 Constitution and also Article 19 paragraph (3) International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, all restrictions on human rights must be expressly set forth a law. None of the laws in Indonesia which regulate the blocking of access to a website on the internet. Government Regulation Block and ForumBlock, so far only suggests that blocking by the Government through democratic channels.

National Human Rights Commission as an institution "the half government" was also made a blunder addressing LGBT. In a release on February4, 2016, the Commission refers to the Yogyakarta Principles (The Yogyakarta Principles) of 2006 and the Regulation of the Minister of Social Affairs No. 8 of 2012 on Data Collection and Data Management with social welfare problems and Potential and Source of Social Welfare (Candy 8/2012). With the defense argument on the right to assemble and the right to security of LGBT, Human Rights Commission cast a "warning" to the state officials who are considered to give a statement "naive".

The opinion of the Commission "efuted" by many other legal experts. They assess,
National Human Rights Commission forget that context 8 Year 2012 of Government Regulationare not in preference of protection. Unlike the National Human Rights Commission in a release, Government Regulation No. 8 Year 2012 by no means contains the norms that justify LGBT behavior. The most important point is that Government Regulation No. 8 Year 2012 reserved for operational data collection and data management with social problems. In fact, the 14 attachment points quoted Government Regulation No. 8 Year 2012, the Commission neglects to point out that there is the charge that gays, transvestites and lesbians are a group with impaired social functioning that have criteria: a. social functioning disorders, b. discrimination, c. Marginalization, and d. deviant sexual behavior.

Meanwhile, the principles of Yogyakarta is the formulation of a view (the source of doctrinal) is by no means adopted into national law. It is inappropriate National Human Rights Commission be a state institution enforcing the opinions that have not been received positively by the law makers officials authorized. Moreover, if the opinion is at odds with the substance of the constitution and the philosophy of Indonesian nationality.

The blocking of LGBT sites confirmed by a number of laws in Indonesia, because the perpetuation of LGBT behavior as well as rape, adultery or infidelity and promiscuity at all has no place in the legal umbrella of Indonesia. It's all not only nasty to one or two people, but also a crime for breeding generations. Such behavior clearly eliminates the only human values of sexual behavior that the Lord Almighty. Sexual behavior is tightly regulated in a matrimony. Article 1 of Law No. 1 of 1974 defined it as "the inner and outer bond between a man and a woman in order to establish a happy home and everlasting based on God". Sexual behavior is only contained within marriage is "the bond of the inner and outer" which aims to establish a family based on God. It is not just a civil, but more than that is the maintenance of a social order. Therefore, the only value of human sexual behavior is raising a generation. LGBT've hit social values, cultural values and religious values.

LGBT is now more than just an identity, but also the substance and cover campaign on the perpetuation of Same Sex Attraction (SSA). LGBT behavior starts from a homosexual preference, then manifests in homosexual acts, then in the end is attached in the form of struggle to be accepted as normal behavior in shaping the institution of the family.

Homosexual preference was present in the conviction of self-actualization, thinking contain the justification preferences, and desires that drive to make it happen. Homosexual acts was manifested in interpersonal relationships among homosexuals.

Furthermore, the establishment of LGBT families is the latest phase in the second perpetuate the behavior, whether their preferences and actions as homosexual.

LGBT behavior in turn will push the presence of a distorted understanding of sexuality. Said to deviate because it cannot unite his wishes with the basic principles of life, resulting in the disruption of social functioning. In fact, none of the religious, humanitarian values, or the value of any benefit that justifies such behavior. Therefore, please do not hesitate to block all online news sites and social media which spreading LGBT.
