Indonesia restricts access to Steam, Epic Games, PayPal, and other websites

The Indonesian government has barred access to a number of internet services, including Steam, Epic Games, PayPal, and Yahoo, for failing to comply with a new requirement tied to the country’s stringent content moderation regulations.

Companies classified as “Private Electronic System Providers” must register with the government’s database in order to operate in the country, or risk a countrywide ban. Indonesia gave corporations until July 27th to comply, and those who did not are now barred.
