While the industry is booming, it is not without its dark sides. Indonesian entertainment is heavily regulated by the Broadcasting Commission (KPI). Content considered "too sexy," "mystical," or "Western" (e.g., kissing on screen) often gets censored or pulled.
Furthermore, the pressure for popular videos leads to extreme stunts. In 2023/2024, several creators faced legal trouble for "pranking" police officers or endangering children in the name of views. Consequently, there is a growing movement for Konten Positif (Positive Content) supported by the government, encouraging creators to highlight local tourism and education.
