The Ministry of Communications and Information in Indonesia said a widely-circulated image on social media showing the ministry had set up a verified account on Canadian-based porn site Pornhub was fake.

In a statement posted on Twitter, Communications and Information spokesperson Ferdinandus Setu said the ministry has not made any account or uploaded any content to Pornhub. The ministry reached out to Pornhub via email to object the use of the ministry's name and logo on the platform.
