        "summary": "The Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) has urged authorities to strictly enforce Government Regulation No. 17 of 2025, known as PP Tunas, aimed at protecting children in the digital space by mandating compliance from digital platforms on age-based access controls, data protection, and content moderation. Effective from March 28, 2026, the rules prohibit children under 16 from creating social media accounts and require platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram to block underage high-risk accounts in the initial phase. This initiative underscores Indonesia's national commitment to safeguarding children online amid prevalent risks of harmful content and data misuse, supported by technical guidelines from the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs.",
