Why is Reddit blocked by the Indonesian government?

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

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

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

Why do many people think that Japan is not a gay-friendly country whereas 72% Japanese support same-sex marriage (the same number as in the US)?

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)

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

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

What is the word for truth and its meaning in Koine Greek?

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

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

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

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

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

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

What are some hard rock or heavy metal bands that are overrated?

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

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

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)

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?

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