JAKARTA — An indigenous community in Indonesia has requested an internet blackout in their area to minimize the 'negative impact' of the online world, officials said on Friday. The Baduy, a community of 26,000 in Banten province, Java Island, divide themselves into an outer group that partly adopts technology and a sacred inner group that shuns the trappings of contemporary life. The inner group has asked authorities to shut down internet reception or divert nearby telecom towers so the signal would not reach them, according to a letter seen by Agence France-Presse (AFP).
