- Google Trends 2023 reports a number of topics that were searched a lot by users this year. The company from the United States (US) divides it into several major themes.
In Indonesia, online gambling seems to be still sought after by the majority of Indonesian citizens. This can be seen from the dominance of searches for keywords related to this activity throughout the year on Google Indonesia.
Quoting the Google Trends page, searches related to online gambling have increased by up to 1,700%. Searches for this topic continued to increase during the last year period, namely December 2022 to December 2023.
On this page, several topics lead to online gambling searches, for example T***2, which refers to a gambling slot website.
Based on region, West Java is the highest with 100 points. Meanwhile, the other regions with the highest numbers were Banten (73 points), DKI Jakarta (70 points), Lampung (62 points) and Central Kalimantan (60 points).
Queries for a number of other topics related to this search are also labeled as fast. Google interprets this as an extraordinary increase, which could be because the topics are new and few people are searching for them.
Meanwhile, in the 25 search queries, there are several other topics besides T***2 which refer to searches for slots or online gambling. The increase in searches is also extraordinarily high, namely around 300%-800%.
Indonesia itself is currently experiencing an online gambling emergency. As one of the agendas for eradicating online gambling over recent times, the Ministry of Communication and Information (Kominfo) has terminated access and/or takendown of 60,582 online gambling content.
Apart from that, in order to suppress transactions related to online gambling, Kominfo has formally asked the Financial Services Authority (OJK) on September 18 2023 to block the accounts involved.
As of July 2023, nearly 2,000 bank accounts were reported to be related to online gambling. The number of complaints ranges from the beginning of the year to July 2023 or around 7 months.
Minister of Communication and Information (Menkominfo) Budi Arie Setiadi said the Ministry of Communication and Information received 1,859 complaints about the use of banking accounts.
