JAKARTA - Indonesia's most populous province has set restrictions on when certain English-language songs can be aired on television and radio, citing concerns over"vulgar" and"negative" lyrics.
The world's biggest Muslim-majority country has seen a rise in restrictions on content or behaviour deemed pornographic, sometimes through local bylaws based on syariah in the officially secular country. She said the action followed complaints from the public and there were similar objections over thousands of songs.
West Java is home to 48 million people and is known for being among the most conservative provinces in Indonesia.
