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.

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.
