I mean i used tor to access reddit back when it was blocked here in indo and tor is pretty much just a more private vpn (mostly just looking at random info surrounding ocing older fsb/bclk platforms)

Not sure if this is the case, but if Microsoft Office is blocked I would assume this would heavily impact companies that are using Office tools for work.

Unless of course this only impacts the Office website. That would make the block entirely useless  

I believe that Microsoft Office is currently unregistered but not blocked. Paypal would be another one that could seriously affect businesses in Indonesia.

 

Looking at the list of websites Microsoft only registered bing.com yesterday just before the deadline, so maybe they were a little late registering Office.

 

Interestingly battle.net is listed as registered as it is (or at least was) supposedly blocked. Perhaps because they waited until the last minute before the deadline to register.

 

It's interesting that Steam and Epic games are blocked but Ubisoft and EA Games which also haven't registered are not blocked.

Gov'ts continue to do this, until they p!ss off enough of their population to spark protest/unrest. Remember, revolutions have started over lesser things

Idiocracy in the making. It can only do downwards from here.

As an indonesian, I would like to say that this was not needed. I think nobody here asked for this

Yeah but that accounts for way more than 1/3 of the Internet. It's a Venn diagram, not a pie chart.

Most commonly used DNS are useless.
Back then we'd use google DNS and bypass the filtering, then it stopped working.
We switched to cloudflare DNS i think, then it stopped again.
There were some more DNS people tried using which was then stopped working after awhile.

Hahah, ya.
I'm not into VPN yet (maybe soon)
But I do have my own method to do it.

Considering how most peoples with internet behave in my country. It won't spark shit.
They are too used to being stepped on. With the FUP, the Expensive limited quota, sucky speed, etc.
They think it's standard, normal, and all fine. Atleast until pandemic started and everybody need internet to WFH and SFH.
Imagine WFH /SFH where you are having massive stutters & bufferings even for 480p reso.
Even then, it was only a bit of ripple.

They'd go full on protest and rants about 2% price increase for Chilli Pepper per KG to make Chilli Sauce though.
Also about a famous handsome local celebrity is imprisoned because he was caught red-handed using drugs.

Hahah ya.
Some people around me are like :
"Well, If they block the legit sites anyway, I guess everybody will go back to the old times, buying pirated game installers"
"And if the govt complains about piracy, we'll just say 'The legit site are blocked, so..' "

Cloudflare Warp is a VPN.

Ah okay, might work.
Pretty sure Cloudflare is under their thumb already though, so idk.
Probably won't be long until it somehow gets F'd too.

People are "free" right up until they realize they're not; and there's nothing they could do about it without being crushed by the military.

I can’t understand it but at least it’s Roman alphabet.  I wonder how google translate does with it?  Machine translated legal language can be quite dangerous.  I’ve never heard of a language called Indonesian before. 

Hello, an Indonesian here. So this article is divided into 3 sections section 1 has 9 steps. Step 1 is receive the e-mail and click on the forum to fill out the request to be registered. Step 2 is to add the email and password they sent to you. Step 3, is to fill out the forum. Step 4 and 5 is about verifying your request. Step 6 and 7 is just wait until it shows up in the registered companies database. Step 8 makes you fill out a survey. And then Step 9 is be glad you are registered.

 

Section 2 is about changing your data (?) and has 14 steps. Step 1. Click on "masuk" or "enter" in english. Step 2. Login with your username and password. Step 3. click on "Tambah permohonan" or "add request". Step 4. Click on  "PSE Lingkup Privat" (no idea what that means) and you should be redirected to a sub page with a button with "Resend NIB" (also no idea what is a NIB). Step 5. Click on Resend NIB. Step 6. Click on the number (or NIB). Step 7. After clicking on that, you should enter the PSE database and click on "Tambah Data SE" or "add data SE (?)". Step 8. Fill the forum. Step 9 and 10. Verify. Step 11, 12, and 13. wait and check if the info is correct. Step 14 is just be glad you have completed this,

 

Section 3 or Attachment 1. This section says on how to now sell your stuff at a commercial scale and I don't completely understand it

 

Notes:

1. My indo isn't as good as my english and trying to translate is a bit hard for me

2. I also simplify this a lot so its highly likely I missed a few details

3. And yes, I did spend nearly an hour trying to de-cypher a 50+ page document

Anyways, Hope I helped

Another update: As if things can't get even worse, someone managed to find an official presentation stream VOD from IDNOG which is a group consisting of various network operators in Indonesia. This presentation was streamed live in July 28th, just before the blockade happened next day at 29th. And apparently, one of the topic in that presentation is the plan to basically establish national intranet and whitelist system. Anyone who are curious with the stream can watch it from the embed below (timestamp included), but keep in mind it's all in Indonesian

One can only hope, mate. One can only hope. Problem is, here tech illiteracy and paid troll account is common (to the point where some people gets actually doxxed, or they raided any discussion talk about this topic*), and despite all the protest on the internet that you guys saw, it's still not as big as you might think. It's not even close to the number of protest against Ajit Pai back in 2017 - 18
