Indonesian authorities say they have had taken down more than 5.7 million pieces of gambling-related content since 2017 and have arrested at least 85 influencers for promoting betting. The Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs said it may impose sanctions on platforms that fail to curb illegal content.
