• Tumblr - banned in early 2018, but later unbanned after Tumblr bans NSFW content
• FanFiction.Net - deemed to be "abusive".
• Newgrounds - banned since 2010 due to the total freedom and lack of filtering of offensive and NSFW content
• Netflix - was initially banned on Telkom for carrying alleged family-unfriendly shows, different censorship standards, shows that promote what the Indonesian government deems as "unhealthy lifestyle" (that is, LGBT or pedophilia). However, the ban on Netflix has been lifted since 7 July 2020, as confirmed by the Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos.
• Reddit - banned since 2016 due to several NSFW, misinformation and malicious content.

Games censorship

• Mortal Kombat 11 - This game was banned, although not publicly, for gory violent content and Communist references (referring to the Russian costume DLC). However, the previous Mortal Kombat games and the mobile game are not banned.

Movies censorship

• Fifty Shades of Grey- This film is banned due to its sexual content.
• Merdeka 17805 - This film is banned for depicting the Japanese as being superior and for apparently disrespectful usage of Indonesia Raya, the national anthem of Indonesia.

• The Year of Living Dangerously - This film was banned for dramatizing the fall of President Sukarno, the rise of President Suharto and the Communist coup which set it in motion in 1965. The ban was lifted after the resignation of Suharto.
