Kemkomdigi emphasises that all PSEs in Indonesia must comply with PP Tunas
Jakarta — The Ministry of Communications and Digital (Kemkomdigi) emphasises that all electronic system operators (PSE) operating in Indonesia must comply with Government Regulation No. 17 of 2025 on the Governance of Electronic System Provision for Child Protection (PP Tunas). Senior Policy Analyst at the Directorate General of Digital Space Oversight of Kemkomdigi, Nanci Laura Sitinjak, said the government would apply PP Tunas not only to the eight initial platforms but to all PSE, whether private or public in Indonesia.
‘In its implementation, of course we are pushing beyond the eight initial platforms. It must extend to all PSEs, both private and public,’ Nanci said during a public discussion titled ‘Beyond Regulation: The Future of Child Protection in the Digital Space’ held in Jakarta on Wednesday.
Following instructions from the Minister of Communications and Digital (Menkomdigi) Meutya Hafid, PSEs must comply with PP Tunas by submitting the results of their self-assessment regarding the risks of their services, with a deadline of 6 June 2026.
Until the deadline, Nanci said some PSEs, including those members of associations such as idEA (Indonesia Ecommerce Association), have invited Kemkomdigi to discuss how PSEs can meet compliance aspects and safeguard the digital space for children in line with PP Tunas.
Kemkomdigi is committed to opening similar dialogue with other PSEs so that PSEs can better understand the process of the PP Tunas self-assessment and the steps to adjust technology in products, features, or services to be child-friendly. The aim is that with this transparency, PSEs can complete their risk-profile self-assessments more quickly, in line with the mandate of the rules which began to be enforced from 28 March 2026.
‘We are also working on providing explanations with a softer regulatory tone. There will be guidance in the assessment process, and we are finalising that,’ Nanci said.
On Thursday (30 April), the government confirmed that the eight private PSE digital platforms — X, Bigo Live, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, Instagram, Facebook, and Roblox — have fully complied with PP Tunas as part of Indonesia’s regulation to protect children in the digital space.
Those eight platforms were the first to be targeted for compliance with PP Tunas due to their large numbers of child users. In practice, the platforms agreed to restrict access for child users, particularly those under 16. There is also a commitment to remove child accounts, as stated by TikTok, so that users under 16 cannot create accounts on the platform.
