Indonesian lawmakers propose social media contributions to gambling addiction treatment

The initiative seeks to expand rehabilitation resources.


Indonesia.- Lawmakers in Indonesia are discussing a proposal that would require social media companies to contribute financially to gambling addiction treatment programmes. Members of the People’s Representative Council’s Commission III, including lawmaker Gus Abduh, say social media platforms play a role in the circulation of online gambling content and could therefore be included in a framework to support treatment infrastructure.

“Platforms should contribute to the development of rehabilitation centres,” Abduh said.

Officials say rehabilitation services remain limited relative to demand. In meantime, Indonesia continues to conduct investigations into influencers and digital channels associated with gambling advertising.
