        "summary": "The Indonesian Paediatric Society (IDAI) has expressed full support for Government Regulation (PP) Number 17 of 2025, known as PP Tunas, which aims to protect children from risky interactions in digital spaces, particularly child grooming. Effective from 28 March 2026, the regulation introduces layered protections including automatic privacy settings and mandatory deactivation of accounts for children under 16 on high-risk platforms, alongside implementing ministerial rules for early detection systems. While emphasising the regulation's strategic importance, IDAI stresses that parental and educational oversight remains crucial, as threats extend beyond the digital realm.",
        "content": "<p>The Indonesian Paediatric Society (IDAI) has given its full support\nto the implementation of Government Regulation (PP) Number 17 of 2025 on\nthe Governance of Electronic Systems in Child Protection, known as PP\nTunas. This regulation is seen as a strategic step in curbing risky\ninteractions for children in the digital space, particularly the threat\nof child grooming.<\/p>\n<p>Dr.\u00a0dr. Ariani, Sp.A, Subsp.T.K.P.S(K), M. Kes, a member of IDAI\u2019s\nCoordinating Unit for Growth and Development and Social Paediatrics,\nexplained that PP Tunas, which comes into effect from 28 March 2026,\nprovides layered protection through automatic privacy settings\n(default).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPP Tunas will curb risky interactions. If children cannot access\ncertain applications, there are standard privacy settings in place to\nprotect them,\u201d said Ariani, quoted on Tuesday (7\/4).<\/p>\n<p>One of the main focuses of this regulation is to prevent child\ngrooming. Ariani elaborated that child grooming is a planned\npsychological manipulation by adults. Perpetrators typically build\nemotional closeness and trust to give children a false sense of\nsecurity, ultimately aiming for sexual exploitation.<\/p>\n<p>Through Ministerial Regulation of Communication and Digital Affairs\n(Komdigi) Number 9 of 2026 as the implementing rule, the government\nmandates the deactivation of accounts for children under 16 years old on\nplatforms deemed high-risk.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to access restrictions, Ariani emphasised the importance\nof an integrated early risk detection system within digital platforms.\nThis system is expected to accelerate reporting and responses to\nsuspicious activities that lead to criminal acts against children.<\/p>\n<p>However, she reminded that government regulations cannot stand alone.\nThe role of parents and teachers remains the frontline in supervision,\nas threats do not only emerge in the virtual world but also in physical\nenvironments such as homes and schools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParents must not feel completely safe just because of this\nregulation. There are many digital platforms, and not all comply\nimmediately. Active participation from parents and teachers is crucial\nto ensure children\u2019s safety wherever they are,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>",
