200 Digital Platforms Report Self-Assessment Under Child Protection Regulation

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Minister of Communication and Digital, Meutya Hafid, stated that approximately 200 digital platforms have reported self-assessments of their platform risk profiles to the government.

This self-assessment reporting is part of the implementation of Government Regulation Number 17 of 2025 concerning the Governance of Electronic System Provision in Child Protection (PP Tunas).

“We are reporting that approximately 200 platforms have already reported to the Ministry of Communication and Digital to provide assessments of their respective risk profiles,” Meutya said when met after the opening of the “Perisai Tunas” photo exhibition at the ANTARA Heritage Center, Central Jakarta, on Thursday.

She mentioned that the digital platforms that have reported self-assessments include e-commerce, online games, and entertainment. Notable platforms include Netflix, ChatGPT, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG), Shopee, Tokopedia, and Lazada.

The self-assessment reports from digital platforms are currently being evaluated by the government to determine the specific risk profile of each platform.

Meutya explained that a risk-based approach is being applied to encourage every platform to provide services that are increasingly child-friendly.

“We are not just delaying access for children, but we also want to see a change in behaviour from the platforms. Therefore, we are creating regulations based on risk,” said Meutya.

Meutya conveyed that the evaluation process for the assessment reports submitted by digital platforms is still ongoing. Once the assessment is complete, the government will announce the risk profile of each platform to the public.

“We are currently examining the files from all the platforms that have been submitted to determine whether they represent a high risk or not,” she said.

Meutya also revealed that 4.1 million TikTok accounts belonging to children have been deactivated up to June 2026. Additionally, YouTube reported that it had deactivated 600,000 children’s accounts up to May 2026.

She urged digital platforms that have not yet reported their efforts in regulating children’s accounts to immediately fulfil their obligations.

“We are certainly providing time, but we will also certainly conduct supervision and law enforcement if they fail to report,” she emphasised.
