(Jakarta).- Between October 20 of last year and September 16, 2025, Indonesia’s Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi) took down nearly 2.8 million items of harmful online content.
The Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi) has removed approximately 2.8 million pieces of negative content from the internet between October 20 last year and September 16, 2025.
“More than 2.8 million items have been taken down from Indonesia’s digital space, with 2.1 million of them linked to online gambling,” said Komdigi’s Director General of Digital Space Monitoring, Alexander Sabar, in Jakarta on Wednesday.
Detailing the breakdown of online gambling-related content, Sabar reported that 1,932,131 items were removed from websites, 97,779 from file-sharing platforms, 94,004 from Meta apps, 35,092 from Google, 17,417 from X (formerly Twitter), 1,742 from Telegram, 1,001 from TikTok, 14 from Line, and three from application stores.
“These numbers illustrate the scale of digital threats we are facing,” he added.
Sabar emphasized that the removal of such content is aimed solely at protecting the public from harmful and illegal material, and not at limiting freedom of expression.
He also noted that the government has been conducting a one-year trial of the Content Moderation Compliance System (SAMAN), which is set to conclude next month.
The moderation initiative, he explained, is designed to ensure that all digital platforms accessible in Indonesia adhere to community guidelines and relevant regulations.
“These efforts are intended to safeguard the public and ensure that our digital space remains clean, safe, healthy, productive, and compliant,” Sabar said.
He further urged citizens to help maintain a safe digital environment by reporting negative content—including material related to online gambling—through official channels provided by the Komdigi Ministry
