Ministry to reprimand digital platforms advertising online gambling
The Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Informatics plans to issue reprimand letters to digital platforms that continue to display online gambling advertisements. This decision follows complaints about verified accounts on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) promoting such content. The ministry previously sent a reprimand to Meta, urging stricter control over online gambling ads on platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram. The government’s actions aim to protect Indonesia’s digital space from content endorsing online gambling.
