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.

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.
