Content removal, state requests, and online speech in Indonesia

Publications

We have not published yet

This page will list our outputs as they appear. At present it lists none, because we have produced none. What follows instead is what we have committed to producing and when, so that our record can be measured against our word rather than against a general impression of activity.

Forthcoming

In preparation · Public analysis article

A baseline of state removal requests concerning Indonesia

A systematic count of state-originated removal requests concerning Indonesia in the public notice record, broken down by requesting body, legal basis, and recorded outcome, with coverage gaps documented alongside the counts.

Will be published with its query parameters, extraction dates, entity normalisation table, and analysis code.

Sequenced after the baseline · Public analysis article

Which UU ITE provisions appear most often in removal demands

An examination of the statutory citations recorded in court orders and law-enforcement requests, establishing which provisions recur and against what categories of content.

Will be published with its coding scheme and inter-coder agreement figures.

Neither output carries a target date yet, because we will not commit to one before we know how much usable record there is to work with. As soon as a date is set it appears here, and if it later slips we will say so and give a revised one rather than quietly removing the commitment.

Publication principles

Open access, always
Everything we produce is published on this site, free to read, with no registration and no paywall. Text and findings are released under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0, so anyone may reuse them with credit.
Method travels with findings
No output is published without its query parameters, extraction dates, coding schemes, normalisation tables, and analysis code. A finding whose method is withheld is an assertion, not research.
Limitations stated up front
Each output states what its evidence cannot support before it states what it does support. Our counts are described as documented floors rather than totals, because the underlying archives hold only what recipients chose to submit.
No embargoes, no exclusives
We do not give any outlet or party advance or privileged access to findings. Everything appears here first, or here simultaneously.
Corrections are visible
Errors are corrected in place, dated, described, and listed below. We do not silently edit published work.
Right of reply
Any party we write about may send a signed response, which we will publish alongside the original.
No conclusions for hire
No party commissions, reviews, or approves our findings before publication.

Corrections log

No corrections have been issued, because nothing has been published. When corrections occur they will be listed here with the date, the output affected, what was wrong, and what it was changed to. A research project with no corrections after several years of publishing is usually one that is not checking its own work.
