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).
