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.

I often use this search tool. It promises to provide complete anonymity, so DuckDuckGo can be considered a kind of Thor in the world of browsers. And I want to say that the search in this browser does not show anything prohibited at all. They are much more decent than the native search engines in the country where I live. I think that the attempt to make claims from the state to this browser are far-fetched and dictated by some other reasons.

Indonesia prohibit gambling so their government see people use DuckDuckGo to search for something that in grey side so they decide to blocked. Maybe that is a right decision from the government but we know that people can use the other ways to still use DuckDuckGo or other browser that can suit them. The government can block something from Internet but they can not stop people from still using that so it need awareness from their people not to abuse something that they already prohibit.

The effect from people playing gambling will be bigger because they will becomes addicted to gambling and lost much money. The government should give more attention to gambling because many younger now are playing gambling too. They can search for more information from many ways and not just from DuckDuckGo which is blocked by their government.

There's ton of ways and even just simply making use of a free VPN on which you could be able to make use on OPERA browser on which you could directly be able to visit sites that it is really that prohibited into your country. This is why there's no way that it would really be that completely be isolated into this case and there would really be those people who would really be that trying out to access things despite of such ban
or block. The cons on here is that whenever you do get caught then for sure you would be suffering some penalties or even worst. The main question is, on how they would really be able to detect it out?
This is why there's no way that we would really be that getting rid into those people who would be tending out to access, on which this isnt really that something that isnt that limited on gambling alone but also in other things as well.
