Last week, a number of pornographic videos involving foreigners leading to some hubbub on Balinese social media.
It that led to at least one official calling on the public to be more vigilant in order to stamp out pornographers from the island.
Bali Police spokesman Syamsi said they would also raise awareness about the issue among villa and hotel owners to prevent future public disturbances.
“We will also work with relevant stakeholders to raise awareness and educate at Bali’s entry points like the airport, immigration office, ports, or other facilities often visited by foreign nationals,” Syamsi said.
According to reports, authorities will soon put up banners to notify tourists that pornography constitutes a criminal act in Indonesia.
In addition, foreign visitors may soon be required to include their social media details when filling up immigration forms.
