KONTAN.CO.ID - SINGAPORE. Indonesia's state owned telecoms firm PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia said on Tuesday it has unblocked streaming giant Netflix, after four years of negotiations. Telkom said the decision came after a "change in the U.S. company's approach to the country". This includes Netflix offering parental controls as well as agreeing to examine complaints from Indonesia's government or regulators over content within 24 hours. After Netflix launched in January 2016 in Indonesia, it ran afoul of the Indonesia's film censorship board in 2016 for carrying content deemed inappropriately violent or sexual. It was subsequently blocked by Telkom, who said it would continue blocking the service until it adhered the country's regulations.
