The Indonesian government, through the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Kemenkominfo), has been actively blocking access to such websites for years. These actions are part of a broader effort to protect the creative economy. In 2015, the government blocked 22 popular movie streaming websites, and this enforcement has only intensified over time. The government continues to take down negative content and has increased monitoring and blocking of sites containing pirated material. In fact, in 2025 alone, 401 pirate movie and TV streaming websites were either blocked or taken down, with continued efforts into 2026.
