He emphasised that without such measures, future generations risk exposure to hoaxes and misinformation, undermining national continuity, while the regulation eases parental burdens by mandating tech giants to implement child safeguards. Effective from 28 March 2026, PP Tunas initially targets eight high-risk platforms, with only X and Bigo Live fully compliant so far, prompting government summons to non-compliant entities like Meta and Google.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Cybersecurity expert from Vaksincom, Alfons\nTanujaya, believes that the introduction of Government Regulation number\n17 of 2025 on the Protection of Electronic System Governance in Child\nProtection (PP Tunas) can safeguard the quality of the productive\npopulation entering Indonesia\u2019s demographic bonus. The demographic bonus\nrefers to a situation where the number of working-age population (15-64\nyears) exceeds the non-productive population (under 15 years and over 64\nyears), and without PP Tunas to protect the young generation in the\ndigital space, the quality of the demographic bonus could potentially\ndecline. \u201cImagine 10-20 years from now, the children who will carry the\ntorch of the nation\u2019s continuity are exposed to chaotic content. Hoax\ncontent, they (young people) cannot distinguish, so they are easily\ninfluenced, easily deceived,\u201d Alfons told ANTARA on Thursday. Alfons,\nwho is also the Deputy General Chairman 2 of the National Information\nand Communication Technology Entrepreneurs Association (Aptiknas),\nstated that PP Tunas actually benefits not only the state but also\nparents who are currently raising generations alpha and beta.\nPreviously, parents had to struggle alone to understand the vast digital\nspace, but with PP Tunas mandating digital platforms, especially tech\ngiants, to provide protection for children, parents\u2019 burdens in digital\nparenting can be lightened. Through this regulation, children\u2019s human\nrights can also be fulfilled, namely that children can access content\nappropriate to their age development. \u201cIf parents are up against PSE,\nhow can they win? Fighting Facebook, Meta? Fighting YouTube, TikTok? No\nparent can win. But with this regulation, they (children) are\nprotected,\u201d said Alfons. Previously, PP Tunas will be effective from 28\nMarch 2026 in Indonesia, limiting children from high-risk digital\nplatforms, especially for the initial implementation applying to eight\ndigital platforms: YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Threads, Instagram, X,\nBigo Live, and Roblox. As of Thursday (2\/4), only two digital platforms,\nX and Bigo Live, have full compliance with PP Tunas. Meanwhile, TikTok\nand Roblox are categorised as platforms that are partially cooperative\nwith PP Tunas. Then, the other four platforms, Facebook, Threads,\nInstagram, and YouTube, still do not meet the provisions of PP Tunas.\nThe government has followed procedures in accordance with applicable\nlaws against non-compliant platforms. So far, the Ministry of\nCommunication and Digital (Kemkomdigi) has issued a second summons to\nthe owners of those platforms, namely Meta and Google.<\/p>",
