    I dont know if theres already a post about this so sorry if theres already one. So my internet friend from Indonesia is having trouble with her sexuality her school friends are pretty much all uneducated/homophobe so she got no one to talk to about it so I gave her this site and tada empty closets is blocked in her country

    There was just a weird moderation bug that put the post In moderation, but not the thread itself. It's fixed now :slight_smile:

    I don't think this is news, but huh, that is weird. Have your friend tried using a proxy?

    Yeah like RainDreamer said, your friend should be able to access the site through a proxy

    That makes me think I should really launch a proxy service for selected blocked websites (such as EC) on that spare hosting space I have...

    Didn't Lady Gaga get banned from performing in Indonesia because she supports LGBTs? Very sad to see that a country would work so hard in preventing LGBT support.

    Get them to try a proxy or VPN, there's plenty free ones available for Chrome :wink:

    Though some 'sensitive' ISPs block anything they think could be sexual.

    Little trick: click the "translate this page" button, it works if the block is not well-done. Or proxy, it always works.

    Well, Indonesia is predominantly Muslim, so that can explain a lot.

    The best option may be for your friend to use a VPN. Nowadays, you can get decent VPN services for relatively cheap.
