Tumblr is back on in Indonesia, after the country's Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (Kominfo) banned the micro blogging site for nine months due to the pornographic content on its platform. The ministry had blocked eight Tumblr domain names in March, after the micro blogging site did not respond to a warning letter dated Feb 28 over complaints about pornographic content on more than 360 Tumblr accounts. KrAsia reports that Indonesia takes a tough stance against adult content, leading to the ban of video-sharing site Vimeo and content aggregator Reddit in the country. Tumblr was pulled from the Apple App Store in November, due to Tumblr's failure to filter pornographic content that involved child exploitation. Apple reversed the ban on Dec 14, after Tumblr's decision to prohibit pornographic content from its service.
