Indonesia had vowed to block Whatsapp Messenger of Facebook Inc. within 48 hours on Monday, if the service did not ensure that the pictures of the graphic interchange format (GIF) were removed.
Whatsapp, which is the most populated Muslim-majority Indonesia in the world, has said that message encryption has prevented it from monitoring the animated graphics files, which is called GIF, which is used by third-party services Are available at.
Whatsapp said in a statement on Monday said that instead of working with those providers, he told the government that they integrate their technology into WhatsApp so that users can enter keywords to search for GIF.
Indonesia's internet has partially censored, according to a research published in May, by a non-profit creator of Web Browsing Tool, Tow Project, which is blocked on websites that provide criticism of Islam, dating services and sex education.
General Director of the Communication and Information Ministry of Indonesia, Samuel Penzerpan, said that until the images given by third parties were discontinued, WhatsApp will be blocked within 48 hours.
Yes true. They will have to adhere to the rules of the host, "Penzerpan said about the proposed block. The Ministry sent three letters to Whatsapp on this issue, he said.
"They have replied, but have asked us to talk to the third party directly. Why did GIF appear in our application, why do we need to talk to a third party? They are going to manage it," said Panjrapana.
Tanner Inc., one of the third parties, said that this "fix." While trying to issue, another provider Gippi Inc did not respond to comment requests.
A tenor spokesman Jennifer Katz said in a statement that the company is working to resolve the issues raised by the Indonesian government within the next 48 hours.
Kutz said that the company works with "regular" local bodies to ensure that our content reflects cultural impacts and legal requirements.
He refused to identify proposed improvements or existing areas with content restrictions. Tenor allows the integrator of its service to block potentially objectionable image results or a defined list of search terms.
Cutsz said in an email, "In the case of Whatsapp, we are taking this responsibility"
The Giphy, a New York City company that works with What'sapp, provides its partners with a facility to filter out inappropriate images.
Indonesia's warning did not appear to target Gabd, a keyboard app developed by Google that provides comparable GIF search results but most devices should be installed separately from WhatsApp.
After the United States, India and Brazil, Indonesia has 69 million monthly active Facebook users, which is at fourth place globally.
Some feedback on Indonesian social media was in doubt in the threat block. "While you are on this, you can not even block on twitter, because all browsers are needed in the Playstore because Porn Search is easier than Whatsapp," a Twitter user has written @jnessy.
The country's regulators have compromised with many technology companies after threatening to shut them down. In August, Indonesia announced that the website of the vulture would be stopped to display gambling-related advertisements. Access was granted soon after agreeing to collaborate with regulators.
Similarly, in recent years, social media websites like Vimeo and Tumbler and Chat App were rescheduled on Telegram, which the regulators said were "full of fanatics and terrorist propaganda."
The Indonesian Consumer Foundation (YLKI) has requested the communication website to make porn GIF images accessible through emoticons, to complain that children can easily reach them. The terms used for What'sapp, Tener and Gippah say that users should be 13 years old.
