Elon Musk has rebranded Twitter as 'X,' using a new domain — X.com.
This has caused issues in Indonesia, where users are unable to access X.com, per Al Jazeera.
Elon Musk announced on Sunday that the domain X.com, which he previously used for PayPal, had started redirecting users to Twitter.
The ministry told Al Jazeera that the X.com domain had previously been used by websites that did not adhere to the country's regulations against "negative" content.
Aribowo Sasmito, the cofounder of MAFINDO, a fact-checking group, told Al Jazeera that he believes the website was blocked because it sounded like "XXX," a porn site.
