200 Digital Platforms Report Self-Assessment Under Child Protection Regulation

Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs Meutya Hafid announced that 200 digital platforms have submitted self-assessments regarding their risk profiles to the government. This reporting is part of the implementation of Government Regulation Number 17 of 2025 concerning Electronic System Governance for Child Protection (PP Tunas). “We report that approximately 200 platforms have reported to the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs to provide an assessment 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 noted that the digital platforms that have reported their self-assessments include e-commerce, online gaming, and entertainment services, such as Netflix, ChatGPT, Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG), Shopee, Tokopedia, and Lazada. The government is currently evaluating the self-assessment reports to determine the risk profile of each platform. Meutya explained that the risk-based approach is applied to encourage every platform to provide more child-friendly services. “We are not just delaying children’s access, but we also want a change in behaviour from the platforms. So we make the rules based on risk,” Meutya said. She conveyed that the evaluation process for the submitted assessment reports 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 submitted to assess whether this is high risk or not,” she stated. Meutya also revealed that 4.1 million TikTok accounts belonging to children had been deactivated as of June 2026. Additionally, YouTube reported deactivating 600,000 children’s accounts as of May 2026. She urged digital platforms that have not yet reported their efforts to regulate children’s accounts to fulfil their obligations immediately. “We certainly give time, however, we will also conduct supervision and law enforcement if they do not report,” she stressed.
