Jakarta (ANTARA) – Minister of Communication and Information Budi Arie Setiadi said the ministry had succeeded in blocking around 2,945,150 pieces of online gambling content in almost a year.

“We have removed 2,945,150 pieces of online gambling content from 17 July 2023 to 13 June 2024,” he said in a statement from his office, Saturday (15 June).

The eradication of online gambling content was carried out as a form of the Ministry’s commitment to preventing its negative impact on society, said Setiadi.

He said that his ministry had also submitted a proposal to Bank Indonesia to close around 555 e-wallet accounts related to online gambling activities.

The request to block 5,779 bank accounts related to online gambling to the Financial Services Authority (OJK) has been ongoing from 18 September 2023 to 28 May 2024, he said.

From July 17, 2023 to June 13, 2024, the ministry handled 16,596 gambling page inserts on educational sites and 18,974 on government sites.

His party has also sent warning letters to digital platforms such as X, Telegram, Google, Meta, and TikTok which are widely used by unscrupulous individuals to spread these sites.

“Digital platform managers will be subject to fines of up to IDR 500 million (US$29 thousand) per content if they do not cooperate in eradicating online gambling,” said Setiadi.

The Ministry continues to eradicate online gambling because of its enormous negative impact on society, starting from economic, social and even psychological aspects which result in many fatalities.

In eradicating online gambling sites, Setiadi said the ministry had explored adopting technology from Google in utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) to speed up the processing of online gambling content reports to make them more effective and efficient.

In accordance with the provisions of Law Number 1 of 2024, Second Amendment to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions, the Ministry prevents the spread of content that is prohibited by statutory regulations by terminating access.
