Indonesia forms task force to tackle child pornography as millions of cases recorded


JAKARTA: The government has revealed that Indonesia faces an increasingly threatening child pornography problem with 5.5 million cases recorded in the span of four years, involving disabled, elementary schoolchildren and even those from early-childhood education, forcing the government to form a new task force to tackle the issue.

Coordinating Political, Legal and Security Affairs Minister Hadi Tjahjanto announced the move in a press conference on Friday, while citing the aforementioned data from a National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s (NCMEC) report.
