Eradicate pornography

Eradicate pornography

From Media Indonesia

The sexual harassment by seven Jakarta high school girls against their younger peers and cellular phone flicks that depict bare-breasted school girls masturbating should arouse our deep concern.

Many other such cases have certainly escaped the media's eye. The problem of morality and character among teenagers involves not only formal education but also the role of their families, social environment and personal associations.

As the Internet is now easy to browse for pornographic videos, X-rated publications are easy to obtain and obscene TV dramas and movies become widespread, we should be selective and provide guidance against these negative influences.

Meanwhile, the House of Representatives should speed up the completion of two anti-pornography bills, so that the eradication of smut and obscene performances will not be a mere slogan or empty discourse.
