Social app Clubhouse has yet to register with authorities in Indonesia and could be banned if it fails to comply with local regulations, a communications ministry official said on Wednesday.

Indonesian regulations compel tech platforms to register as an Electronic System Operator (PSE) in seeking permission to operate. Dedy Permadi, a ministry spokesman, said a ministerial regulation became effective on Nov. 24 and operators have six months from that date to register.
