Those things might be considered normal in some Western countries, while in Indonesia its practically impossible, he said.他回应：“特别是在必须留意的是，色彩非常丰富的emojis很更容易更有孩子。一些西方国家也许指出这些东西很长时间，但在印尼完全是不有可能的。

”Mr Cawidu said the ministry had contacted all companies that used such content, including Twitter and Facebook, and failure to comply with the request to remove the emojis could lead to the apps being banned in Indonesia.卡维杜说道，通讯和信息部早已联络Twitter、Facebook和其他可以在应用于中用于这些emojis的公司，如果他们不按拒绝去除此类内容，很有可能被印尼停止使用。LINE Indonesia has already removed its gay emojis from online stores and issued an apology.目前印尼版Line早已从在线商店里移除了同性恋者emojis，甚至还公布了致歉声明。
