In 2015, data from the Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kemkominfo) stated that more than 760,000 internet websites had been blocked. This figure represents a 5,000-website increase from the previous year, meaning approximately 5,000 websites were blocked throughout 2015. Blocked websites generally contained pornographic content, content inciting inter-religious and inter-ethnic conflict (SARA), fraudulent content, gambling-related content, and copyright infringement material.
Given the rapid development of the internet, the government began facilitating website blocking through the "Trust Positif" program. Launched in 2011, this program is a freely available service for internet users requiring a filter against negative websites. It contains a list of blocked websites. However, several issues remain regarding this policy, particularly the unilateral nature of the government's blocking mechanism.
