The block has rendered users in Indonesia unable to accept payments or even play some games. Other popular games and services impacted by the restriction, according to Daniel Ahmad, a senior analyst at Niko Partners, include Origin, DOTA 2, and Counter-Strike. Meanwhile, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, TikTok, Twitter, Netflix, and Spotify all applied for licenses last week, and all of them are still available.
Semuel Abrijani Pangerapan, general director of Kominfo, said that the nation may allow people to use PayPal for a limited period under the prohibition. Pangerapan further said that the prohibition would be removed after the enterprises registered with the national database. It is unknown when these services will reopen or if they will register with the Indonesian database.
