President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has formed a
Pornography Prevention and Management Task Force whose main duty is to
enhance coordination among state bodies in their efforts to tackle and
prevent pornography distribution that continues to be rampant across the
archipelago.
The President has appointed People’s Welfare Coordinating Minister Agung Laksono to lead the task force. Serving as day-to-day leader will be Religious Affairs Minister Suryadharma Ali, according to a statement released by the Cabinet Secretary.
Members of the task force include other Cabinet members such as Communications and Information Technology Minister Tifatul Sembiring, Law and Human Rights Minister Amir Syamsuddin, Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection Minister Linda Gumelar, Education and Culture Minister M. Nuh, as well as Home Minister Gamawan Fauzi.
The formation of the task force is legally supported by the 2012 Presidential Regulation which was signed by Yudhoyono on March 2.
The task force’s establishment was a mandate of the 2008 Pornography Law, the statement says.
It is Yudhoyono’s latest task force formation after he discontinued the former Judicial Mafia Taskforce in January.
