Internet censorship in Indonesia
Internet filtering in Indonesia was deemed "substantial" in the social arena, "selective" in the political and internet tools arenas, and there was no evidence of filtering in the conflict/security arena by the OpenNet Initiative in 2011 based on testing done during 2009 and 2010. Testing also showed that Internet filtering in Indonesia is unsystematic and inconsistent, illustrated by the differences found in the level of filtering between ISPs. Indonesia was rated "partly free" in Freedom on the Net 2020 with a score of 49, midway between the end of the "free" range at 30 and the start of the "not free" range at 60.
Although the government of Indonesia holds a positive view about the internet as a means for economic development, it has become increasingly concerned over the impact of access to information. It has shown an interest in increasing its control over offensive online content, particularly pornographic and anti-Islamic online content. The government regulates such content through legal and regulatory frameworks and partnerships with ISP and Internet cafes.
Since 25 February 2026, the country's Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi) has blocked access to Wikimedia's authentication domain (auth.wikimedia.org) due to the foundation's non-compliance of registering themselves as a private electronic service operator. This prevents users from logging in or creating accounts on all Wikimedia projects, including Wikipedia. Rights groups have called for the restoration of normal access.
