Cabinet Secretary Calls for Public Support in Implementing Child Protection Regulation
Jakarta (ANTARA) — Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya has called upon all sectors of society to support the implementation of Government Regulation Number 17 of 2025 concerning the Protection of Electronic System Management and Child Protection (PP Tunas) to safeguard the quality of Indonesia’s youth generation.
“Going forward, we appeal for cooperation from all segments of society, from all parents, from young people who are children, and of course from members of the media, so that we can maximise this government regulation, PP Tunas, to operate at full capacity and its benefits and objectives can positively impact Indonesia’s young generation,” said Teddy following a PP Tunas Follow-Up Coordination Meeting at the Communications and Digital Ministry’s office in Jakarta on Wednesday.
According to him, the coordination meeting involving six ministries demonstrates the government’s serious commitment to protecting children in digital spaces.
Teddy stated that PP Tunas socialisation will be intensified through various channels to gain broader support for the effective implementation of the regulation.
He emphasised that implementing PP Tunas to truly protect children requires renewed cooperation from all stakeholders.
“This regulation does not stand alone; it is collaborative work between the government and society, particularly parents,” said Communications and Digital Minister Meutya Hafid.
PP Tunas was officially launched by President Prabowo Subianto in March 2025. The regulation aims to govern digital platform management by electronic system providers (PSE) to ensure safe services for children.
Most recently, Communications and Digital Minister Meutya Hafid formally issued Communications and Digital Ministry Regulation Number 9 of 2026 as the implementing regulation for PP Tunas.
The regulation requires PSE providers to include age restrictions for services or features and to conduct independent risk assessments to determine risk profiles.
Communications and Digital Minister Meutya Hafid stated that rules restricting children from high-risk digital platforms will take effect on 28 March 2026.
