        "content": "<p>BEKASI, KOMPAS.com \u2013 A number of parents in Bekasi have positively\nwelcomed the implementation of Government Regulation No.\u00a017 of 2025 on\nthe Governance of Electronic System Operators in Child Protection (PP\nTunas), which began to be enforced on Saturday (28\/3\/2026). However,\nthey also emphasised that the government should not only focus on access\nrestrictions but also tighten content filtering or filters on various\nplatforms. One Bekasi resident, Erick Kustara (44), stated that the\npolicy is important but needs to be accompanied by stricter content\nmonitoring by the government. \u201cI consider this social media restriction\nto be very useful. But please, Komdigi should also carry out filtering.\nWhich contents need to be blocked, and should not be presented because\nthey can damage the nation\u2019s regeneration,\u201d said Erick when met in the\narea of Patriot Chandrabaga Stadium on Saturday. He assessed that\nseveral popular applications like Roblox, Twitter, and TikTok have more\nharmful impacts than benefits for children. He also highlighted\nchildren\u2019s high curiosity, which often leads them to try various\napplications without parental supervision. \u201cChildren have high\ncuriosity. So applications that shouldn\u2019t be downloaded are still\ntried,\u201d he said. However, time limitations often become an obstacle in\nthat supervision. \u201cBut it comes back to the parents in the form of\nsupervision. The problem is, parents also have time limitations. They\ncan\u2019t always monitor their children,\u201d he said. He mentioned that\nchildren often take advantage of gaps when parents are not at home to\nuse gadgets freely. Children tend to delay obligations because they are\ntoo engrossed with digital devices. He even gave a personal example when\nhis child experienced health problems due to using a mobile phone for\ntoo long.<\/p>",
