Jakarta (ANTARA) - Member of Commission I of the Indonesian House of\nRepresentatives (DPR RI) Oleh Soleh has urged the Ministry of\nCommunication and Digital Affairs (Kemkomdigi) to block electronic\nsystem operators (PSEs) that continue to shirk their obligation to\nregister.<\/p>\n
The statement was made following Kemkomdigi data revealing that 25\nprivate PSEs have yet to register, despite the requirement being\nstipulated in Government Regulation No.\u00a071 of 2019 concerning the\nImplementation of Electronic Systems and Transactions.<\/p>\n
\"If after being given the opportunity and a warning they still do not\ncomply with the rules, I support Kemkomdigi in taking firm steps in\naccordance with regulations, including terminating access or blocking.\nLaw enforcement must be carried out consistently so as not to create the\nimpression that the rules only apply to certain parties,\" he said in a\nstatement on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Soleh stressed that all PSEs operating and providing services to the\npublic are required to register and complete all requirements set by the\ngovernment. He argued that PSE registration is not merely an\nadministrative obligation, but an important instrument for creating a\nsafe, orderly, transparent, and accountable digital governance.<\/p>\n
With all electronic system operators registered, it is believed the\ngovernment will find it easier to supervise the protection of personal\ndata, system security, and compliance with various digital regulations\nin Indonesia. He stated that regulatory compliance is a form of\nresponsibility by operators to the state and society. All digital\ncompanies, whether domestic or foreign, must commit to obeying\nIndonesian law if they wish to provide services in the country.<\/p>\n
\"No party should feel immune to the rules. As long as they operate in\nIndonesia and utilise the Indonesian digital market, all electronic\nsystem operators must comply with all applicable provisions,\" he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
Therefore, he supports Kemkomdigi\u2019s move to impose strict sanctions\non operators who continue to ignore the registration obligation. Under\nthe provisions, private PSEs that fail to meet their obligations may be\nsubject to sanctions in the form of termination of access to their\nelectronic systems.<\/p>\n
Soleh assessed that the government\u2019s consistency in enforcing the\nrules will provide legal certainty for all digital industry players.\nThis step will also create healthy business competition because all\noperators are treated fairly. He hopes this momentum will serve as a\nreminder for all digital companies to improve compliance with national\nregulations.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday (1\/7), Kemkomdigi stated that the government had sent\nnotifications to 25 private PSEs to fulfil their registration\nobligations. Broadly speaking, these PSEs are owned by hotel service\nproviders, airline service providers, and fitness tracking application\nservice providers.<\/p>\n
Three of the 25 PSEs have responded to the government notification\nand will immediately fulfil their registration obligations, namely PT\nAyo Indonesia Maju, which owns the AYO Super Sport Community App mobile\napplication; Six Continents Hotels Inc, which owns the Six Senses mobile\napplication; and Strava Inc, which owns the Strava fitness tracking\napplication.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the remaining 22 PSEs have not shown a similar response\nand are still not registered in the system provided by the government.\nFor these remaining operators, Kemkomdigi issued a written warning on\nThursday.<\/p>\n
\"Through this warning letter, we are giving PSEs the opportunity to\nimmediately fulfil their registration obligations before law enforcement\nmeasures are taken in accordance with applicable regulations,\" said\nAlexander Sabar, Director General of Digital Space Supervision at\nKemkomdigi.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/house-member-urges-ministry-to-block-unregistered-digital-platforms-1783598208", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
