Just encountered this news -
"DuckDuckGo blocked in Indonesia over ..., gambling search results." which has dropped a bomb on me. I have never been in this country and always thought it is loyal to gambling. But it seems to be not. How does the matter lie at present? I wonder this because of my plans to visit Indonesia for a couple of weeks and when visiting countries for the first time I commonly show myself round the local casinos.
Not really that surprising considering that search results include not only gambling content. It is a lot easier, and makes sense even, to block the platform if it is full of content the government would not want generally. Plus, it’s not unprovoked either many have complained.
I don’t know where you got the impression that Indonesia is “loyal” to gambling. Regardless of religious beliefs of a country, I think any country would take extra precautions over a platform that shows pornography and others.
