This information is confirmed to be untrue or a hoax. Minister of Communications and
Informatics (Menkominfo) Rudiantara on various occasions never
said it would block Facebook. udiantara had previously stated
will block Facebook if it is proven that there is a violation of the applicable rules,
but there has been no decision to block Facebook to date.
The Minister of Communication and Information also stated that he would not hesitate to block Facebook if
the captured data is used to incite or spread hatred. Minister of Communication and Information
also ensure that investigators find elements of criminal allegations in user data leaks
Facebook in Indonesia. Meanwhile, these two things have not been proven.
"If there are indications that Facebook in Indonesia is being used for incitement,
as happened in Myanmar, I have no qualms about blocking."
