Komdigi Claims to Have Taken Down 4 Million Online Gambling Contents Since October 2024

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi) claims to have taken down over 4 million online gambling-related contents during the period from October 20, 2024, to November 10, 2026.

“From a statistical perspective, for the period from October 20, 2024, to November 10, 2026, we have already taken down more than 4 million gambling contents,” said Mediodecci Lustarini, Secretary of the Directorate General of Digital Space Monitoring, at the Komdigi office in Jakarta on Friday (November 13, 2026).

Mediodecci explained that Komdigi has a team responsible for patrolling online gambling and pornography contents.

Meanwhile, handling of content outside these two categories is generally carried out based on reports or complaints from the public.

“We do focus on online gambling and pornography. Therefore, we have specific patrols and teams for that. Other complaints are mostly processed by our complaint team, and if there are no reports, they won't be processed,” she said.

She stated that contents outside the categories of online gambling and pornography are not automatically processed if there are no incoming complaints.

Regarding this, Ides mentioned that Komdigi still needs to review data concerning the trends in content takedown requests reported to digital platforms since the implementation of the administrative sanction system.

“So, we can report to the content complaints, or it could be reported; the reporting mechanism is managed by the public relations team, for example. And the public relations team will forward it to us, and we will conduct a verification,” she revealed.
