Enforcement of PP Tunas: Meta and YouTube Absent, Second Summons Issued

The Ministry of Communication and Digital (Kemkomdigi) has issued a second summons to Google (YouTube) and Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads). This follows their absence from the first summons related to an examination of compliance with child protection regulations in the digital space (PP Tunas).

Director General of Digital Space Supervision at Kemkomdigi, Alexander Sabar, stated that the two platforms had previously requested a postponement due to the need for internal coordination. “We have received the request for rescheduling, so the obligation to attend the examination summons has not yet been fulfilled,” said Alexander in his statement on Friday (3/4/2026).

Kemkomdigi emphasised that this second summons is a follow-up step in the enforcement process for compliance, which cannot be delayed. This process is carried out in accordance with Article 32 paragraph (2) of Government Regulation Number 17 of 2025 and Article 44 paragraph (2) of the Minister of Communication and Digital Regulation Number 9 of 2026.

“We have issued a second summons letter to the relevant parties. According to the provisions, summonses can be issued up to a maximum of three times before sanctions are imposed,” said Alex.

Kemkomdigi stressed that compliance with child protection rules is not merely an administrative obligation but a responsibility that directly impacts child safety in the digital space.

“Every delay extends the risks faced by children in the digital space. Therefore, we demand concrete and timely compliance from all platforms, including global platforms,” said Alexander.

Kemkomdigi assures that all supervision stages will continue, including further steps if non-compliance persists. “This summons is part of the process. If the obligation is not fulfilled, the enforcement mechanism will proceed in accordance with applicable provisions,” said Alex.

Kemkomdigi also reminded that child protection is a national priority that cannot be negotiated. Thus, Kemkomdigi expects good faith and concrete actions from every electronic system provider.

“A safe digital space for children is a shared responsibility, and compliance with regulations is part of that commitment,” said Alexander.

Previously, the Ministry of Communication and Digital summoned Google and Meta (Facebook, Instagram, and Threads) to undergo an examination regarding compliance with child protection provisions in Government Regulation Number 17 of 2025 on the Governance of Electronic Systems in Child Protection (PP TUNAS). However, both failed to attend the summons.

This summons is the government’s effort to ensure that digital platforms meet their child protection obligations, particularly in restricting account usage by users under 16 years old. Minister of Communication and Digital Meutya Hafid emphasised that this step is taken to keep the digital space safe for children.
