Reuters reveals that Indonesia is preparing tough new restrictions for online platforms

Reuters revealed Indonesia is preparing tough new rules that will allow it to fine and charge internet and social media platforms, which could slow the rapid growth of online businesses in a $70 billion market. The rules, which authorities say are needed for platforms to quickly remove “illegal” content, are among the strictest in the world on social media and follow an intensified crackdown on online content that has alarmed activists in countries like India.
