In Indonesia, approximately 2.8 million pieces of online content were removed, most of which were related to gambling

The Indonesian Ministry of Communications and Digital Technology reported the removal of nearly 2.8 million pieces of online content, most of which were related to gambling. The content removals took place from October 20, 2024, to September 16, 2025, and were part of a larger campaign to enforce laws banning both offline and online gambling nationwide.

1,932,131 messages were removed from websites, 97,779 from file-sharing platforms, 94,004 from Meta apps, 35,092 from Google, 17,417 from X, and the remaining messages were removed from Telegram, TikTok, Line, and app stores.

Alexander Sabar, Director General for Digital Space Monitoring at the Ministry, stated, "These figures demonstrate the scale of the digital threats we face." He added, "These measures are aimed at protecting society and ensuring that our digital space remains clean, safe, healthy, productive, and compliant."

To prevent the widespread problem of illegal content advertising, the government launched a content moderation system (SAMAN) back in 2024. The system is currently in pilot testing, and is expected to be completed within a month. SAMAN is designed to protect citizens and monitor digital platforms' compliance with the law.

The government encourages citizens to report suspicious or harmful materials online through the official Komdigi complaints service.
