Indonesia on a Google.co.id Gambling Purge

[DaftDog]

I'm not concerned as I don't market to this country at all, but it seems Indonesia has taken legal action to force Google to remove gambling related listings from google.co.id.

I received this email from Google yesterday:

I don't think it's the country of Indonesia but "only" a copyright infringement from someone else.
Did you fill out the lumendatabase form?

I'v received such an email several times. It was always against an article with a sportsbetting prediction and an image which was at least 5 years old.
The first time I entered my email at lumendatabase to find out the reason it was an african TV station complaining. I'm very sure it was a false positive.
The whole system is crap because you can only check that database ONCE per email used. So it's a joke. I ended up deleting the article in question, as it was really not worth the hassle trying to explain that it was a false positive (and in the process needing to reveal a lot of personal data). I don't like this process how it's setup: you can accuse someone and then cause him a lot of work even if you have 0 evidience...

It's a government request which includes thousands of other sites.
