Their songs contain words that are too tendentious ………
Ariana Grande and Ed Sheeran would be too obscene. This is in any case the viewpoint of the audio-visual authority of the Indonesian province – very conservative, obviously – of West Java. The titles of the two artists are part of the list of 85 banned pieces of broadcast during the day.

The songs targeted are Love Me Harder for Ariana Grande and Shape of You for Ed Sheeran, which would contain lyrics that could be perceived as “identifying women as sexual objects”.
