The Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo) has shut down 11,803 pieces of radical content between 2009 and February 2019. According to a report from the Directorate of Informatics Application Control, Directorate General of Applications, Kominfo, the largest number of radical content closures came from Facebook and Instagram, reaching 8,131 pieces (68.89%). The second largest number of closures was from Twitter, with 1,384 pieces (11.73%).

In 2018, Kominfo blocked 10,449 pieces of radical content, with 7,160 pieces from Facebook and Instagram. From January to February 2019, 1,031 pieces of content were blocked, 963 of which originated from Facebook and Instagram.

As is known, last week a radical act occurred: a shooting at two mosques in New Zealand that killed more than 40 people and was live-streamed on social media. Therefore, blocking radical content on social media is necessary to combat radicalism and terrorism.
