Indonesia is banning Yuri-ism
Hello everyone, yesterday I got several messages from fans from Indonesia telling me they weren't able to access our site. I remember reading an article awhile ago that said the Indonesian government had started banning sites depicting pornographic and or homosexual content.
So on a hunch, I decided to see if I could track down a black list. I was able to find a new black list that that the Ministry of Communications had posted on April 20th. By some program called "TRUST+ Positif". http://trustpositif.kominfo.go.id/
Unfortunately I am not able to dispute the Indonesian governments ban in any way. But at the time of writing this, only a few ISPs seem to be enforcing the ban right now. As some users are still able to connect to the site. Which could mean that the ban is either regional, or the other ISPs haven't or aren't going to enforce it yet.
Proposed solutions: Right now yuri-ism.net is not blacklisted, and most other popular yuri sites haven't been blacklisted yet either. If this ban ends up turning out to be country wide soon, I may look into getting alternate IPs and domains so users can access the site. I may also consider making a guide on how to circumvent Trust Positif's network via VPN.
Indonesia is ranked 5th in countries that visit Yuri-ism, they account for up to 200,000 page views to the site alone. I promise I will try to do what I can so that our fans can continue to view our site!
