Recently there was news On Monday (10/6/2024), Mengkominfo Budi Arie threatens to restrict access to Twitter within the country. One of the primary reasons cited for the ban is Twitter's alleged failure to comply with Indonesian regulations regarding the removal of content deemed offensive or illegal under national law.
"Soal pornografi X, saya sudah menyurati (soal) pornografi X, bahwa X kalau X tetap memperbolehkan pornografi di Indonesia akan kita tutup, kita blok," Â - Budi Arie.
It seems that Budi Arie has a firm believe that pornography has no place in Indonesia, he claims that he had already sent a letter to the company so that the decision to allow pornography in twitter can be reversed and the matter of restricting X can be resolved.
While the ban on Twitter aims to address regulatory concerns, it has sparked significant backlash from Indonesian citizens. Many argue that restricting access to social media platforms will be bad since many information can come from X, and that it was unfair to restrict a respected platform and leave websites such as online gambling still roaming on the internet.
