DPR: Meta's Compliance with PP Tunas is Komdigi's Achievement in Protecting Children
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Deputy Chairman of Commission I of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) Dave Laksono views the Ministry of Communication and Digital’s (Komdigi) success in making technology company Meta comply with Government Regulation Number 17 of 2025 on the Governance of Electronic System Organisers in Child Protection (PP Tunas) as a strategic achievement in protecting children in the digital realm.
This, he said, proves that national regulations have real coercive power over global technology companies, while also affirming the state’s commitment to protecting the younger generation from risks of inappropriate content and interactions.
“This success also shows that technical constraints are not a reason to ignore national law,” said Dave in Jakarta on Thursday.
However, according to him, compliance from one platform alone is certainly insufficient. Therefore, Komdigi needs to continue pushing for consistent adherence to these rules by all electronic system organisers, including TikTok, Roblox, YouTube, and Bigo Live.
“In that way, child protection in the digital space can be comprehensively guaranteed and not just rely on the commitment of one company,” said the chairman of the commission handling defence, security, foreign affairs, to communications matters.
In this regard, he assesses that this momentum should be used as a foundation to strengthen the overall governance of the digital space. The state, he said, has a central role in ensuring regulations are implemented effectively, transparently, and accountably.
He hopes that Meta’s compliance becomes a positive precedent for Indonesia’s digital ecosystem. Commission I of DPR RI is committed to continuing to support the government in encouraging all global platforms to respect national rules.
“With consistent enforcement of regulations, Indonesia’s digital space can develop as a safe, productive environment that favours the interests of the nation’s next generation,” he said.
