JAKARTA - The Student Political Block Group assesses that the Ministry of Communication and Information (Kominfo) does not understand how to handle its main tasks. They liken Kominfo to a toilet or WC.
This was conveyed by the Student Political Block after holding an action to flush water in front of the Kominfo Building, Central Jakarta, today, Monday, August 1. The action was originally carried out with the public who participated in their call on social media.
"Kominfo deserves to be a WC rather than taking care of public issues," wrote the Student Political Block statement on its Instagram account, @blokpolitikpelajar, Monday, August 1.
Previously, the Student Political Block invited the public to take part in the action of throwing pee bottles at the Kominfo office in Jakarta in the aftermath of opposing the policy of blocking a number of applications and sites.
The invitation was conveyed by the Student Political Block through their Instagram and Facebook accounts. However, the symbolic action of throwing pee bottles at the Kominfo office was cancelled.
The implementation is only carried out by representatives from the Student Political Block. However, not by throwing, but by throwing pee right in front of the Kominfo office.
"Despite the Student Political Block canceling the call "People are throwing pee bottles at the Ministry of Communication and Informatics", we are still responsible by coming to the location and taking action to flush urine at the Communications and Informatics Building," said a statement from the Student Political Block.
Their actions were carried out on the basis of an outpouring of frustration with the Kominfo policy that blocked a number of digital platforms, such as Steam, CSGO, Yahoo, Origin (EA), Steam, Dota, Xandr.com, Paypal to Epic Games.
The Ministry of Communication and Informatics argued that the blocking was because a number of Electronic System Operators (PSE) were not officially registered in government data based on the deadline given on Wednesday, July 20.
The Student Political Bloc ensures no arrests, violence and damage in the actions they hold today.
"This is also a message to any public that the anger towards power, especially the Communications and Information Technology, cannot be contained. Hopefully we can express this anger in a crowd, in the future," said the statement from the Student Political Bloc.
