An American man is arrested in Indonesia for allegedly selling porn videos on social media

  • An American individual named Taylor Kirby Whitemore was detained at Bali’s Ngurah Rai airport on March 25 for reportedly distributing adult video content via social media platforms.
  • Officials arrested Whitemore because he linked to accounts on X and Telegram that facilitated paid transactions for pornographic content.
  • Indonesia, a Muslim-majority country with strict pornography laws, suspects the videos Whitemore promoted were produced domestically, violating local law and immigration rules.
  • Authorities moved Whitemore to a Jakarta detention center on May 16 for further investigation, and he faces up to five years imprisonment and a 500 million rupiah fine, about $30,540.
  • This arrest and investigation highlight Indonesia's firm enforcement of its pornography laws and ongoing monitoring of online content distribution.
