Remotivi and the Southeast Asia Freedom of Expression Network (SAFEnet) revealed that at least 127 critical social media posts were moderated or taken down as of November 8, 2026.

This figure represents an increase from the data recorded as of September 8, 2026, which stood at 73 moderated pieces of content.

By platform, X (Twitter) ranked first with the highest number of content removals, accounting for 56 posts or 44.1% of the total moderated content.

Remotivi and SAFEnet also found a notably high volume of content moderation on Threads, totaling 43 posts (33.9%).

"The most common form of moderation on Threads is geoblocking, which renders content inaccessible from Indonesian IP addresses (25 out of 43 posts)," Remotivi and SAFEnet stated in their report on Wednesday (11/11/2026).

Outside of these two platforms, the proportions were below 20%, with the following breakdown:

X/Twitter: 44.1%
Threads: 33.9%
Instagram: 10.2%
TikTok: 9.4%
Facebook: 1.6%
Others: 0.8%

According to the research team, content takedowns were carried out by the platforms on their own initiative under the pretext of community guidelines, while other posts were removed at the request of the Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi).

Remotivi and SAFEnet further detailed the patterns of content moderation, noting the emergence of new methods over the past two months.

On Threads, for instance, a user raising awareness about forest and land fires (karhutla) repeatedly received notifications stating that their posts could only be viewed by users aged 18 and over. Meanwhile, advertisements addressing forest and land fires in Kalimantan were rejected by Meta without a clear explanation.

"Restricting content access to users aged 18 and over indicates that the moderation was likely enforced not under the Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE) Law, but rather under PP Tunas. The ad ban is also quite unique, as it had never been observed in previous monitoring," Remotivi and SAFEnet explained.

For context, PP Tunas refers to Government Regulation Number 17 of 2025 on the Governance of Electronic System Operations in Child Protection, a regulation issued by Komdigi.

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," the two organizations stated.
