The decision was announced by Director General of Informatics Applications at Communication and Informatics Technology Ministry, Semuel Abrijani Pangerapan, on Thursday (6/27).

"X has responded to our request and has taken down the content we flagged. Telegram also responded yesterday and will be improving its Service Level Agreement (SLA)," said Semuel.
