After it was threatened to have its licence to operate pulled in Indonesia, RIM has announced that it will meet the country’s request to filter out porn. RIM has also agreed to set up servers in the country, as requested.
It is expected to implement the changes in the next four days.
The demand stems from Indonesia’s Islamic conservative communications and information minister Tiffatul Sembiring, who also said that RIM should employ more locals.
RIM’s director of Asia-Pacific, Gregory Wade, said that the company will work closely with the operators that support BlackBerry service in Indonesia to meet the government’s requirements.
