        "content": "<p>BEKASI, KOMPAS.com \u2013 A number of junior and senior high school\nstudents in Bekasi have responded to the enforcement of Government\nRegulation (PP) Number 17 of 2025 on the Governance of Electronic\nSystems in Child Protection (PP Tunas), which began to be implemented on\nSaturday (28\/3\/2026). The students assess that the policy has good\nintentions but still needs refinement, particularly regarding access to\nlearning and supervision mechanisms in the digital space. One student,\nDarrel Danadyaksa Yunanda (15), said that social media is not only a\nmeans of entertainment but also a source of learning and inspiration. \u201cI\nget quite a lot of interesting things, especially from YouTube and\nInstagram. There are videos that boost creativity so I want to try\nthem,\u201d he said when met at Plaza Patriot Chandrabaga, Bekasi, on\nSaturday. He admitted to often finding educational content, such as\nmaterial for the Academic Competency Test (TKA), including ways to solve\nmathematics and Indonesian language problems. \u201cThe negative ones I often\nblock, like online gambling, vulgar videos, and the like,\u201d he said.\nAccording to him, self-awareness is key in using social media. He also\nsuggested that the government provide a special platform for children\nunder 16 years old. \u201cI ask the government to create social media\nspecifically for children under 16 years old,\u201d he said. Darrel also\nacknowledged that there are still loopholes in the implementation of the\nrules, such as practices of falsifying identities to access certain\nplatforms. \u201cStopping social media is quite difficult, because we need\nit,\u201d he added. \u201cI am quite disappointed and surprised too. Because most\nof us children under 16 use social media to find news, socialise, or\nkeep in touch with friends,\u201d he said. Nevertheless, Galang assessed that\ncreativity does not entirely depend on social media. \u201cWe can find\ncreativity from books, parents, or close friends. Social media is just a\ndiversion,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
