Because of Indonesia's large Islam population (the largest in the world), TV censors have the right to edit out any content deemed offensive according to Islamic law, known as Haram. This applies especially to the Indonesian province of Aceh. Films and television series in Indonesia are forbidden to have religiously prejudicial content, excessive offensive language, excessive violence, sexual situations including nudity and references to homosexuality, and animated scenes considered too scary or frightening for children.
