Bruno Mars has launched a cheeky Twitter protest over Indonesia's most populous province slapping restrictions on some of his biggest hits - and poked fun at fellow music megastar Ed Sheeran in the process. The West Java broadcasting commission ruled this month that some 17 foreign songs could only be played on the airwaves between 10pm and 3am, citing morality concerns.

Separately, Indonesia is drafting a national law that seeks to ban blasphemous and"pornographic" music content, sparking concerns about freedom of expression in the world's biggest Muslim majority nation.

The commission, she said, responded to complaints from local residents in West Java, which has some 48 million people and is one of Indonesia's most conservative provinces.
