Indonesia Considers Restrictions on Video Games Following School Explosion
November 10, 2025 - 11:12
In the wake of a tragic school explosion in Jakarta, President Prabowo Subianto has instructed his cabinet to explore potential restrictions on video games. This decision comes after the president received updates regarding the police investigation into the incident. State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi shared this development with reporters during a press briefing on Sunday.
The move reflects growing concerns about the influence of video games, particularly in light of their rising popularity among the youth. The government is particularly scrutinizing online multiplayer shooting games that have gained significant traction, as they are often linked to violence in various discussions.
As the investigation unfolds, officials are weighing the implications of these games on society and whether regulatory measures are necessary to ensure the safety and well-being of the community. The outcome of this inquiry could lead to significant changes in how video games are accessed and regulated in Indonesia.
