Information Ministry tries to be hip by releasing memes urging people to report offensive websites

The Ministry of Information and Communications (Kemenkominfo) has an email address that people can use to report websites that contain offensive content (pornography, blasphemy, radicalism etc) so that the Ministry can block the site and protect our fragile netizens.

Strangely, it looks like that email address isn’t used that often.

So the ministry has decided to take a new media approach to the problem by creating some memes to encourage people to help them in the censorship efforts.

The first meme is taken from a scene from cult classic film “The Big Lebowski,” in which John Goodman’s overly aggressive character pulls a gun out at a bowling alley:

(Still feel brave making strange sites?)
(I’m reporting you to: aduankonten@mailkominfo.go.id)

The second meme comes from the film “Finding Neverland” and a scene in which Johnny Depp, playing “Peter Pan” playwright J.M. Barry, comforts a young boy:


(Dad, I’ve found sites containing violence and radicalism)
(Really?)
(Ok then, we’ll report it to: aduankonten@mailkominfo.go.id)

Good on Menkominfo for trying something new, but these lame memes seem like something our dads would make after discovering 9GAG for the first time.
