        "summary": "The Indonesian government has introduced Government Regulation (PP) Number 17 of 2025, known as PP Tunas, to regulate the management of electronic systems for child protection in the digital realm, effective from 28 March 2026. Child and family psychologist Sani B. Hermawan praises the regulation as a significant step to safeguard the nation's future by restricting access to high-risk digital platforms for children under 16, who lack the emotional maturity to navigate online complexities. She emphasises that while the regulation is crucial, parental involvement through communicative supervision and open discussions remains essential to mitigate cyber threats effectively.",
        "content": "<p>The introduction of Government Regulation (PP) Number 17 of 2025 on\nthe Governance of Electronic Systems in Child Protection, known as PP\nTunas, has received positive appreciation from experts. Child and family\npsychologist Sani B. Hermawan views this regulation as a concrete step\nby the government to protect the nation\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe this is a breakthrough by the government to save the\nnation\u2019s next generation,\u201d said Sani, a graduate of the Faculty of\nPsychology at the University of Indonesia, quoted on Monday (6\/4).<\/p>\n<p>PP Tunas, which comes into effect from 28 March 2026, is designed to\nregulate the governance and supervision of electronic systems. Its main\nfocus is to provide maximum protection for children while surfing the\ninternet, given the high risks of cybercrime lurking around.<\/p>\n<p>One crucial point in PP Tunas is the restriction of access to\nhigh-risk digital platforms for children under 16 years old. Sani\nexplained that psychologically, children in that age range are\nconsidered not yet mature enough emotionally to face the complex\ndynamics of the digital space.<\/p>\n<p>Without strict supervision and regulation, children are vulnerable to\nbecoming victims of various digital criminal acts. Sani mentioned\nseveral real threats that haunt children on digital platforms:<\/p>\n<p>Even though the government has issued PP Tunas, Sani stressed that\nthe role of parents remains the frontline defence. This regulation must\nbe accompanied by active guidance in the family environment.<\/p>\n<p>She suggested that parents implement a communicative monitoring\npattern, not just prohibition. \u201cFor example, if a child wants to view\nsocial media, but through the mother\u2019s account, with time limits,\nmonitoring, and most importantly, there is space for discussion between\nparents and children,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>",
