Jakarta-Warganet are still confused about the unclear information regarding the fate of Facebook in Indonesia. They also wonder, whether Facebook will be closed in Indonesia or not? Minister of Communication and Information (Menkominfo) Rudiantara said that he would not block (close) Facebook permanently, but only temporarily.
That is if the situation gets worse. "We will see this situation first. If it gets worse, then we will temporarily close (block it)," said Minister of Communication and Information Rudiantara. Rudiantara was reluctant to talk about closing Facebook's operations permanently.
He is more focused on monitoring Facebook to create data security and prevent the spread of hate speech. The House of Representatives also had asked Kominfo to be more strict with Facebook. "We and the government - the Ministry of Communication and Information - will talk again regarding the follow-up to Facebook's mistake.
Personally, I am still open to sanctions, it is also possible to suggest a Facebook service moratorium," said Meutya Hafid, Member of Commission I of the Indonesian House of Representatives. Meutya estimates that the Indonesian House of Representatives will wait for the results of Facebook's internal investigation for the next month. "We are waiting, I think a month should be enough time.
We hope that the results of this investigation will not only blame who, but also there should be information, where this misused data went and what it was used for," he said.
