Media monitoring and research institute Remotivi, alongside Southeast Asian digital rights advocacy group Southeast Asia Freedom of Expression Network (SAFEnet), said that the Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi) and social media platforms have been moderating or taking down critical content posted by Indonesians.

In their study, 127 pieces of content were moderated as of November 8, 2026. This figure marks an increase from the September 8 data, which recorded 73 moderated pieces of content.

Of the 127 moderated pieces of content, the majority—94 pieces (74% of the total)—were removed at Komdigi's request. This number rose from 66 content requests in the previous release.

Meanwhile, moderation carried out by social media platforms based on community guidelines accounted for 26% of the total, also increasing from 9.6% in the previous research period.

"This does not mean requests from Komdigi have decreased, as the number actually rose from 66 to 94 [pieces of content]. Transparency is also another issue, as not all platforms openly disclose Komdigi's requests when carrying out moderation," Remotivi wrote in a written statement on Wednesday (11/11/2026).

By topic, criticism of President Prabowo Subianto and criticism of officials and the government tied as the most frequently moderated subjects, each accounting for 32 pieces of content (25.2% of the total).

Remotivi and SAFEnet noted that the moderation of public criticism against the government, and particularly Prabowo, is nothing new.

"Most recently, Remotivi and SAFEnet's monitoring found a surge in the moderation of public protests over the government's slow handling of forest and land fires (karhutla)," the research team stated.

According to monitoring data, 13 pieces of content (10.2%) related to forest and land fires were moderated, with some reported in mid-October 2026 when haze blanketed Kalimantan.

Here is the breakdown of content topics moderated by Komdigi and social media platforms as of November 8, 2026:

Criticism of Prabowo: 32 contents (25.2%)
Criticism of officials and the government: 32 contents (25.2%)
Demonstrations: 16 contents (12.6%)
Forest fires: 13 contents (10.2%)
Criticism of DPR salaries: 7 contents (5.5%)
Criticism of law enforcement: 7 contents (5.5%)
Criticism of MBG and Red-White Village Cooperative: 6 contents (4.7%)
Criticism of DPR and legislation (excluding salaries): 5 contents (3.9%)
Papua: 2 contents (1.6%)
Others: 7 contents (5.5%)
Total: 127 contents (100%)

Remotivi and SAFEnet compiled this data through social media monitoring and complaint forms provided by both organizations.

According to the research team, the number of cases documented in this monitoring represents the tip of the iceberg and does not yet reflect the full scope of critical content restrictions in the digital space.

"There is still a possibility that many cases go unrecorded, due to limitations in monitoring reach and capacity, the difficulty of identifying restrictions that are not accompanied by notifications, and the fact that not all individuals who experience restrictions are willing or have the opportunity to report them," Remotivi and SAFEnet said.
