Why is Reddit blocked by the Indonesian government?

Some subreddits are controversial for Indonesians, more than just porn nonsense

Indonesians don’t even know what BNBRBK (Be Nice, Be Respectful, and Be Kind) principle is

Indonesians can’t do civil discussions both offline and online. That’s why Indonesians are perceived as “digital barbarians” by Microsoft

Can you explain the validity of relativity theory? It seems to me to be untrue, as time is universal, and the time is now everywhere.

r/AsianParentStories → Because Indonesia is still Asia, and Asia has a common patriarchal culture called “filial piety”

Instead of debating, Indonesians prefer to shut their opponent down: dox, cancel, ad hominem, name calling, spewing fallacies, you name it

Indonesians tend to be a moral police (yes, we’re talking about you, “Facebook Reporting Communities” such as IReC and Garuda Reporting which tarnishes Indonesia’s name across the globe, and yes, we’re talking about you, too, SJWs)

Measles confirmed in Colorado Springs, public asked to watch for symptoms - KKTV

r/misanthropy → Since Indonesians are overly friendly, humanistic according to second Pancasila principles

Indonesian loves to use Bahasa in international communities, and their own local language in national communities

And let me give you the bitter truth about Indonesian demographics:

ESPN announces TV start times, windows for 2025 SEC football season - Southeastern Conference

Indonesian didn’t know where, when, and why they should joking and where, when, and why they should be serious (a.k.a. they’re joking in a serious discussions, but at the same time, they’ll be offended by some harmless jokes)

Because Indonesians are not smart enough for accepting free speech inside Reddit

Look at Kaskus (an Indonesian tryhard Reddit clone) which become a cesspool of so-called “free speech”.

Indonesians are attention seekers, they often giving “off-topic” comments or posts, or they often baiting (race-baiting, rage-baiting, jail-baiting) just for fun

Indonesians tend to be Mr./Mrs. Know-It-All, they think they know everything by either only reading some articles on Wikipedia, reading some books, searching some topics on Google, and watching some videos on social media, or they think they know everything because they’re alumni of SOHK (School of Hardknocks) a.k.a. anecdotal knowledge/”trust me, bro!”. Oh, did i mention if Mr./Mrs. Know-It-All can’t stop and shut up?

r/atheism, r/agnostic → This breaks first Pancasila principles, since Indonesians confusing “deity” with “religion”

How can I get the audio of only the dialogue of a movie, without any sound effects or music? I really need it for a fan edit.

Indonesians didn’t know what “agree to disagree” is

r/AntiNatalism → Since Indonesians believe in “banyak anak, banyak rezeki” (more child, more prosperous) principle
