The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Indonesian officials had threatened to shut down BlackBerry’s web browsing service by the end of the month if Research in Motion didn’t block pornographic content to its 2 million Indonesian users.

Indonesia is the world’s most-populous Muslim country and enacted a strict anti-pornography law in 2008. according to SC Magazine, a publication for information technology security consultants. This is the first time RIM has agreed to block content, though the company agreed last year to allow authorities in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to read encrypted texts send by BlackBerry Messenger users.
