Indonesian police have arrested a man accused of hacking into a public billboard in Jakarta and streaming a pornographic film.

The 24-year-old IT analyst has admitted the crime, said police, for which he could face up to six years in jail.

Motorists were left in shock last week when footage from a Japanese porn film was displayed on an electronic screen in south Jakarta.

The video ran for five minutes on Friday before power was eventually cut.

However the clip had already been captured on many mobile phones and soon spread across social media.

The man, who was arrested in his office, allegedly carried out the prank after seeing login details displayed on the billboard.

Now that's a hack!

    > ...and oh, yeah, this topic (a hair-on-fire reaction to a little porn) is an example of why you don't want your country to be a theocracy.

    Fallacy much?

    A country having a majority single religion does not make that country a theocracy. Mexico is 85% catholic, nobody thinks Mexico is a theocracy.

    Catholics don't beat, rape, force convert, murder and kill people who don't follow their religion on the grounds that those people are not catholic. See Iran, Iraq and several other countries for a guide on what happens in islam dominated countries.

      No, they save their beatings and rapings for those already within the faith.

      You need to study some history.
      A good place to start would be majority-Catholic Ireland in the preceding century.

      We recently discussed majority-Catholic Poland.
      In that thread, Latin America was also mentioned by Z-A,z-a,01234. [soylentnews.org]

      The California mission system with its slavery of indigenous people, using food as a weapon, and hunting down those who escaped the oppression after "voluntarily converting" to Catholicism.
      Junipero Serra may have been declared a "saint", but he was an evil oppressor whose primary task was enriching the Spanish crown.

      More recently, there's Mother Teresa, another "saint".
      The truth is, again, that her primary task was raising money and pushing her political agenda.
      The poor people she claimed to be serving were always way down on the list of priorities.
      She is yet another example of "trickle down" being a sham.
      She said that pain (for poor people that she claimed to represent, but whom she actually victimized) was a gift from God, so she didn't spend any of the cash she raised on pain medication for the poor.

      her institutions have offered a standard of care that would provoke international outrage if it were provided by, say the United Nations rather than an affiliate of the Vatican

      Oh, and when she died, it wasn't in one of her own hospitals; it was in a fancy-schmancy big-city place.
      You can bet that *she* was loaded up on painkillers.
