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.

    Here's a representative scene from that little nugget of awesomeness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uI-V0rrlZBo [youtube.com] And when I say "representative", I mean literally the entire movie is like this, except for a couple minutes at the beginning where we meet the main characters. Silat is where it's at.
