Key Findings
The three categories with the highest rate of blocked or likely blocked websites are Pornography, Gambling, and Provocative Attire. There are also a significant number of blockings in the LGBT, Terrorism and Military, and Hate Speech categories.
Based on a rough comparison with the confirmed blockings found last year, a few blockings were newly detected this year, including www.kucoin.com (a cryptocurrency website), gist.github.com, sinarharapan.co.id, and limetorrents.pro.
In terms of method of blocking, the ISPs either implemented HTTP or DNS blocking based on the government block list, i.e., TrustPositif. The study also found that about 20% of the confirmed blockings were not detected on the block list, but this may be due to various reasons.
