Update regarding @wikipedia and @wikimediafoundation censorship attempt by Indonesia's Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (I'll refer as Komdigi)

Status: Stalemate (mostly won)

At April 30th 2026, Wikipedia made an update on X regarding their status.

In summary, Komdigi agreed to not blocking Wikipedia and Wikimedia (yay). And, Wikimedia agreed to register as an PSE (Electronic System Organizer (ESO)) fuck...

But, Wikipedia and Wikimedia Indonesia insisted that we should not be worry since they say they already contacted Wikimedia and Wikipedia that this registration are not a legal basis for content deletion in regards of censorship (which is I do no know how did they actually managed to do it... but yay?).

For full statements from Wikipedia Indonesia, I present it below (the translation to English will be in the ALT, so do not worry)

For auth.wikimedia.org, as of today, it is already unblocked.

⚖️ PCB Statement on ADA Title II Interim Final Rule

🚀👨‍🚀 Oh, look! The #astronauts have arrived at the launch pad in an astrovan—how quaint! Too bad the article itself is trapped behind a digital "no entry" sign, leaving us to imagine the riveting details of astronauts riding in a glorified minivan. 🚫🔒

This thing is fly under the radar.

From last month, Indonesia Ministry of Technology and Communication blocked access to auth.wikimedia.org.

The domain were used to authenticate users across Wikimedia, meaning that Indonesian user cannot contribute to Wikipedia/Wikimedia.

And last week, THEY also blocked Wikimedia Commons.

Thanks to the backlash and push from Indonesian user, Wikimedia no longer blocked.

Nobody still unsure why this is happened, but the most possible reason is THEY want Wikipedia to register to PSE (basically they must obey the law, which we all know meaning of censorship attempt).
