CNA Explains: What do Indonesia's new licensing rules mean for tech companies?

The government has warned that companies that do not sign up in time would be blocked.

Observers are worried that the ministerial regulation on Electronic System Operators will stifle innovation as companies first have to be licensed by the communications ministry before they can start offering their services to users in Indonesia. Government agencies can also order companies to take down content that is violating Indonesian law or deemed to be “disturbing public order”. Such content needs to be removed between four and 24 hours.

Currently, the regulation states that such access can be given for “monitoring and law enforcement purposes”. It does not mention the need to secure a court order.'Pushing the boundaries of innovation': How 9 Indonesia start-ups become unicorns during the pandemic Responding to CNA’s queries, Twitter Inc said it has agreed to comply with the registration requirement.

“If they do not register by the deadline provided, it means that don’t see Indonesia as an important market for them,” Pengerapan stated.
