In a follow-up to last month's announcement of Government Regulation No. 17 of 2025 (PP Tunas)—which restricts children under 16 from high-risk digital platforms starting March 28, 2026—Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya met Communications and Digital Minister Meutya Hafid on Friday evening. They reviewed platform compliance, with the government warning of sanctions for non-compliance.
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya received a visit from Communications and Digital Minister Meutya Hafid at the Cabinet Secretariat office in Jakarta on Friday (March 27) evening. The discussion focused on implementing PP Tunas, the Governance of Electronic Systems in Child Protection regulation announced earlier this month.
Hafid reported compliance progress as of March 27 at 9:30 p.m. WIB: X and Bigo Live fully compliant; TikTok and Roblox partially so; Facebook, Threads, Instagram, and YouTube non-compliant.
"The government instructs all digital platforms operating in Indonesia to immediately align their products, features, and services with applicable regulations," Hafid stated at the Ministry of Communications and Digital office in Central Jakarta.
The regulation sets a minimum age of 16 for high-risk platforms, emphasizing child data protection and privacy under universal principles. "Children in Asia are as valuable as children in Europe," she added.
Sanctions are outlined in Ministerial Regulation No. 9 of 2026, including warnings, temporary suspensions, and permanent disconnections.
