Government Regulation Number 17 of 2025 on the Governance of\nElectronic Systems in Child Protection (PP Tunas) officially comes into\neffect from 28 March 2026. Several parents support PP Tunas, including\nMia Santani, 36.<\/p>\n
According to her, the regulation represents an important step in\ncontrolling children\u2019s digital activities. She believes the rule is\nnecessary to provide clear boundaries on content accessible to children\namid the proliferation of inappropriate material.<\/p>\n
\u201cI fully agree with the control so that children know their limits,\nwhat they can watch and what they cannot,\u201d said Mia to Media Indonesia\non Sunday (29\/3).<\/p>\n
Mia, who has a 13-year-old daughter, admits to being worried. She\nnotes that in online games frequently played by her child, such as\nRoblox and Mobile Legends, there are many elements that should not be\npresented to children.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m scared because in Roblox there\u2019s a chat feature. There, they can\nchat with random people, make acquaintances. We don\u2019t know who is\nchatting with us and whether they have malicious intentions or not,\u201d\nexplained Mia.<\/p>\n
So far, to protect her child in the digital space, Mia and her\nhusband always monitor the child\u2019s account via another device and track\ntheir digital activity history.<\/p>\n
However, since PP Tunas has been in effect, according to her, various\nplatforms like Roblox, Mobile Legends, and TikTok on her child\u2019s account\ncan still be accessed. \u201cUp to now, everything can still be opened,\nnothing has disappeared,\u201d said Mia.<\/p>\n
She hopes that in the future there will be a more stringent\nrestriction system, such as age grouping in applications and download\nrestrictions for children.<\/p>\n
Mentari, 34, expressed similar sentiments. She says her 10-year-old\nson is not particularly fond of playing on social media like TikTok, X,\nor Instagram. However, her concern is online games like Roblox.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven though so far I can see all his account activities, there is\nstill worry that something might slip through the supervision,\u201d she\nsaid.<\/p>\n
She hopes that the introduction of PP Tunas can help parents limit\ntheir children\u2019s activities in the digital space until they are of an\nappropriate age. She also strives to ensure her child has positive\nactivities in the real world.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why, to reduce my child\u2019s dependence on games, I deliberately\nincrease outdoor activities like English lessons. He also likes playing\nmusical instruments, so I enrolled him in guitar and drum lessons, so he\nenjoys exploring many things,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/supporting-pp-tunas-parents-complain-that-prohibited-platforms-can-still-be-accessed-1774788676", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
