Indonesian Minister Threatens to Ban Free Fire Citing Negative Cultural Impact on Children
Free Fire might face a ban in Indonesia!
Indonesian Minister for Tourism and Creative Economy, Sandiaga Uno, has threatened to ban Free Fire in Indonesia due to its perceived negative cultural impact on youth, particularly underage children.
This isn't the first time the game has faced scrutiny, as it has previously encountered legal challenges in various countries, including Bangladesh and Nepal, and had an on-and-off relationship with Indian authorities.
The primary concern cited by Indonesian child protection authorities is the game's potential influence on youth and its future implications, mirroring concerns in other countries where games like PUBG Mobile have been banned due to their appeal to younger audiences and depiction of gunplay.
