Indonesia is trying to block LGBTQIA content from the internet

> it's 2024

Depends on which calendar. There is nothing more powerful than the human mind when it comes to distorting reality.

I agree with you, but do you know that there are at least 7 countries right now where capital punishment is a possible penalty for same-sex sexual conduct[1]? And this number does not necessarily go down, for example Uganda introduced death pentalty for (aggravated) homosequality in 2023.

[1]And 5 more countries where the law regarding death penalty for homosequality is unclear.

Remember Indonesia is an overwhelmingly Islamic nation - in fact the largest one by population. Blasphemy is illegal. Even complaining about the volume of speakers playing the call to prayer for Muslims will get you arrested. Some areas like Aceh explicitly follow Islamic law (like with sharia courts). The country’s beliefs and attitudes towards things like LGB are deeply influenced by Islam. So it isn’t really surprising even though it’s appalling.
