JAKARTA – Indonesia’s Communications and Digital Ministry has warned US-based internet service provider Cloudflare that its services in Indonesia could be blocked over legal compliance issues and allegations that it is facilitating gambling websites.
According to the ministry’s findings, more than 76 per cent of about 10,000 blocked online gambling sites were operated on Cloudflare’s services to hide internet protocol addresses and evade access restrictions.
