Approaches & Efficacy of Site Blocking: Part 2 – Administrative Site Blocking

Since August 2019 over 2,200 piracy websites and ISD application domains have been blocked by Indonesian regulator, KOMINFO, averaging 60+ sites blocked every 10 days. This has resulted in piracy traffic decreasing by 62% and traffic to legal sites increasing by 41%. These results are testament to the effectiveness of a ‘rolling’ site blocking strategy.
