TV and movie lovers in Asia jumped for joy earlier this month when Netflix finally launched throughout the region.
Some in Indonesia, however, weren't so excited by the news. The country's largest telco, PT Telkom Indonesia, announced that as of 12 a.m. Wednesday morning they had blocked access to the streaming service on all of its Internet platforms.
Dian Rachmawan, Telkom's Director of Consumers, said the ban was put in place due to Netflix not following the country's broadcast laws and for having violent and "pornographic" content, Indo Telko reports. The exec did not specify which content the company found to be overly violent or indecent.

Just in case some gullible fool doesn't read the links before clicking, those are all NSFW. You've been warned. A couple may even be NSFH. (not safe for home)

That's right! Religious programming is definitely NSFW and NSFH!

Whatever. If you choose to open any of those links in your employer's presence while on company time, don't blame me for the consequences.

Ain't that the truth!
Any employer who sees that you're stupid enough to subscribe to bullshit belief systems will likely terminate you on the spot!

Some people have no idea where a link is going to take them.
As evidenced by this very thread, there are a helluva lot of people who still believe what someone tells them.
Without research or verification.
To do so leaves one wide open for being taken advantage of and enslaved.

Soylentnews does show the target domain behind the link. While I do think it's mean to lure people to nsfw websites without warning, I would think the domain names are clue enough. Gets worse when people use URL shorteners...
And of course, SoylentBob would point out the importance of trigger-warnings in this context ;-)

Original AC here. I'd just like to clarity that my intent was to use the names of *religious* broadcasters with undisguised links to porn sites as an ironic gesture.
Since, as you correctly point out, no attempt was made to disguise the links and the domain names were clearly visible, it should have been clear to anyone who can read English where those links were pointing.
Anyone who couldn't pay enough attention to the clearly tongue-in-cheek post and clicked on any of those links thinking that the endpoint would be anything other than something completely inappropriate wasn't paying attention or isn't very bright.

... and thats probably why your initial post was rightfully modded funny and not troll :-)

Yep, and despite the fact that those links were obviously pointing to truly pornographic sites (since SoylentNews does show the domain being linked to), there was some religious nut still bitching sarcastically about religious content not being safe for work. I guess that goes to show just how dumb and gullible many religious people are.

I was the one who posted that religious programming is NSFW. I wasn't being sarcastic -- snarky, yes,. but sarcastic, no. What's more, I was poking religious nutters with a stick. Which is good fun!
Religions are false belief systems. There's no reason that a reasonably well educated person should hold such beliefs.
What's more, I knew exactly where those links pointed, as I wrote that post too.
Religious programming is enormously more harmful than porn in my view.
So, plus two points for your obvious conviction about this and minus five points for getting it completely wrong.

what does nsfh actually mean?
"viewing the content is illegal, and if the police find out you go to jail?" or "viewing the content might get you kicked out of the house"?
my guess would be the first option (since one of the domains says "torture"), but I'm curious what you meant.

I didn't click the torture domain, so I can't say whether the first option might apply. I had in mind the second option. As macho as some our members try to sound, I'm fairly sure that a lot of their wives would dent their frying pans over their heads if they were caught viewing those links. Or - alternatively, she might ask, "Why do you never do me like that? You don't love me, or what?" After which, our intrepid member becomes deceased due to heart failure.

Or alternative 3, the wife might whisper: "would you like me to do you like that?" with a cucumber in her hand.
Save your ass, don't click those links!

It could just be a variation of "NSFL" (not safe for life), which is a good warning for extremely violent/gory content. Once you view something like that, you can't just forget it. You can watch it if you want, but many of us prefer to not look at such stuff. The link with "torture" in the domain name sounds like something I really don't want to look at.
