PUBG Mobile has again become a target in the eyes of the government, this time in Indonesia. According to news reports, a petition has been submitted to the Ministry of Information and Technology in Indonesia which calls for the banning of PUBG Mobile, Free Fire, Mobile Legends and other online games.
