Ministry of Communications Blocks Access to Three Unregistered Digital Platforms Including eBay and KLM
JAKARTA (IndoTelko) - The Ministry of Communications and Digital of the Republic of Indonesia (Komdigi) has terminated access to three Private Scope Electronic System Operators (PSE) that have failed to demonstrate genuine commitment to fulfilling their registration obligations.
Director General of Digital Space Supervision at the Ministry of Communications and Digital, Alexander Sabar, stated that the access termination constitutes an administrative sanction against PSEs that do not comply with prevailing regulations.
"This access blocking of electronic systems is a form of administrative sanction imposed by the Minister of Communications and Digital on Private Scope PSEs that have not made efforts to register," he explained.
In accordance with Article 7 of Minister of Communications and Informatics Regulation Number 5 of 2020 concerning Private Scope Electronic System Operators, the Ministry has imposed administrative sanctions in the form of access termination on three PSEs: PT Dunia Luxindo (Bath & Body Works), eBay Inc. (eBay), and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (KLM).
According to Alexander Sabar, prior to the access termination, the Ministry had issued notification letters, warning letters, and press releases regarding the registration obligation. "However, up to the deadline set following the issuance of warning letters, these three PSEs still showed no effort to fulfil their registration obligations," he stressed.
The access termination measure reflects the government's commitment to law enforcement to ensure the national digital space is more orderly and accountable. Furthermore, the Ministry is seeking to create equal obligations among electronic system operators.
"This is also an effort to protect the public as users of digital services from potential risks arising from services that are not officially registered," Alexander Sabar affirmed.
The Ministry encourages all PSEs to register their electronic systems through the OSS system before operating in Indonesia, and to actively update their registration information should any changes occur.
