JAKARTA — The organization that oversees Wikipedia said on Thursday it had completed the registration required to operate in Indonesia after Jakarta threatened to block its services.
Under a 2020 regulation, all electronic system providers (PSEs) must register in Indonesia for what the government called legal and user protection purposes before making their services available.
Critics have said a provision in the rule requiring registered PSEs to take down content deemed as “causing public unrest and disturbing public order” is a restriction on free speech.
