Clubhouse Application Threatened to be Blocked by Kominfo – The Clubhouse application which is currently popular is threatened with being blocked by the Ministry of Communication and Information (Kominfo). This is because the Clubhouse has not been registered as an Electronic System Operator (PSE) in Indonesia.
According to the Spokesperson for the Ministry of Communication and Informatics, Dedy Permadi, this provision is in accordance with Ministerial Regulation Number 5 of 2022 which was promulgated last November.
“According to PM Number 5 of 2022, for (PSE) who do not register according to applicable policies, they will receive administrative sanctions in the form of termination of access.”
The regulation actually regulates the Implementation of Private Scope Electronic Systems. In that regulation, Private Scope Electronic System Operators are defined as Electronic System operations by individuals, business entities, and the public.
The obligation to register PSE is regulated in Article 2. In the article it is written that “the obligation to register for Private Scope PSE is carried out before the Electronic System begins to be used by Electronic System Users”.
Dedy hopes that Clubhouse can register immediately according to the provisions so that they are not subject to sanctions and threats of blocking. Dedy added that the PSE registration period in Indonesia was opened for six months since the regulation was promulgated on 24 November.
This means that Clubhouse has at least until 24 May 2022 to register. “The clubhouse has not been registered with Kominfo,” said Dedy.
Clubhouse is not yet registered on the page. However, there are several platforms operating in Indonesia, but not yet registered. According to Dedy, some of them are still in process.
