The extension of the concept of obscenity in the Draft of Indonesian Penal Code is in accordance with the philosophy of the Indonesian nation that gives religious values a fundamental place Consequently, the expansion of the concept of obscenity in the Draft of Indonesia Penal Code can answer some of the problems faced by Indonesian citizens.
