Indonesia pushes global platforms to open local offices
Indonesia's digital regulator is urging global platforms to establish local representative offices, citing that only 20% of their content removal requests are currently being complied with. This move aims to enhance content enforcement within the country.

- Only 20% of content removal requests are being complied with by global platforms, according to Indonesia’s digital regulator.
- The regulator wants global platforms to establish local representative offices in Indonesia.
- The move is framed as a way to improve content enforcement within the country.
