Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Director General of Informatics Applications, Kominfo, Semuel Abrijani Pangerapan, emphasized that X, or formerly Twitter, is threatened with being blocked from Indonesia. This can be done if the policy of freedom of pornographic content is still implemented in Indonesia.
They will first study the guidelines posted by the X Help Center regarding adult content. “We will immediately study it. Maybe we will write to it immediately. I will study it later,” said Semuel in Jakarta, quoted on Sunday (16/6/2024).
“This will definitely be blocked. If it's allowed [konten porno] like this,” he added.
Semuel said the blocking would be done to the platform and not the content. Because blocking content is not possible because they do not have direct authority to block content on a platform.
Semuel also appealed to users in Indonesia to migrate to other platforms if this blocking actually occurs. “If X doesn't comply, yes the X is closed. Users, sorry, just start getting ready to migrate to [platform] other,” he explained.
According to the X Help Center, the platform is allowing adult content as of May 2024.
Users who upload adult content, ranging from nude content to activities, must label or not display the content clearly.
“You may share content of nudity or adult sexual conduct that is created and distributed consensually, as long as it is properly labeled and not prominently displayed.” write statement X.
Prior to this rule change, X did have an unofficial policy allowing users to upload adult content. But it was neither permitted nor prohibited, and the rules were still gray at that time.
But now, X added a clause to its rules that officially allows users to post adult and graphic content on the platform, with some caveats.
