Indonesia Blocks Yahoo, Paypal For Failing To Comply With License Rules

Indonesia barred search engine Yahoo, payments provider Paypal, and other gaming websites for failing to comply with license restrictions on July 30. Registration is necessary under guidelines issued in late November 2020, which provide authorities powers to force platforms to divulge data of specific users and remove information considered criminal. Several tech businesses hurried to register in the days preceding the deadline, which had been extended to July 29.
