Iraqi authorities have switched off electronic advertising boards in Baghdad after pornographic footage was broadcast on one of the screens.
The digital advertising boards were switched off on Sunday, according to Shafaq News, which said: “Iraqi security authorities decided to temporarily turn off screens displaying advertisements in public places in the capital, Baghdad, after they were subjected to electronic hacking and immoral clips were displayed in public.”
A statement from the Iraqi Interior Ministry said the adult content was aired on a screen in Uqba bin Nafeh Square, a busy thoroughfare in central Baghdad.
The statement went on to add that following “preliminary investigations,” the accused man suggested that “he had committed this immoral act due to financial problems with the owner of the company that owns the display screen.”
Last year, the Iraqi government announced that it planned to block porn sites, though it is not clear how effective that policy has been.
Iraq does not explicitly criminalize gay sex but loosely defined morality clauses in its penal code have been used to target members of the LGBT community.
The original article contains 383 words, the summary contains 180 words. Saved 53%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
"Last year, the Iraqi government announced that it planned to block porn sites, though it is not clear how effective that policy has been.

It was totally worth having nearly a million people die for this.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
