If you don't submit to any government requests they can kick you off the register. For instance if Twitter does not provide the government the details of a specific user then they can be blocked. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/02/indonesias-proposed-online-intermediary-regulation-may-be-most-repressive-yet https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/02/indonesias-proposed-on...
