Meta and Google Under Scrutiny by Komdigi Over PP Tunas Violations
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Digital platform companies Meta and Google have complied with a summons from the Ministry of Communication and Digital to undergo examination regarding allegations of violating Government Regulation Number 17 of 2025 on the Governance of Electronic System Providers in Child Protection (PP Tunas).
Director General of Digital Space Supervision at Komdigi, Alexander Sabar, explained that Meta underwent examination at the Komdigi office on Monday (6/4). Meanwhile, Google attended Komdigi on Tuesday.
“Meta, which oversees Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, as well as Google, which owns YouTube, have both complied with our second summons,” said Alexander at the Komdigi office in Central Jakarta on Tuesday.
“So our focus is on Article 30 of the Ministerial Regulation on the implementation of PP Tunas,” Alexander stated.
Komdigi has not yet disclosed the results of the examination, as further investigation is still underway.
It is known that the Minister of Communication and Digital (Menkomdigi), Meutya Hafid, firmly announced the summoning of Meta and Google as a consequence of these two tech giants failing to comply with the provisions of Government Regulation Number 17 of 2025 on Child Protection Governance of Electronic System Providers (PP Tunas) and its derivative regulations.
Meutya stated that both tech giants violated the provisions of Komdigi Ministerial Regulation Number 9 of 2026, which is the implementing regulation for PP Tunas.
Meta is the parent company of the digital platforms Threads, Facebook, and Instagram. Meanwhile, Google is the parent company of the YouTube platform.
These digital platforms are categorised under Komdigi Ministerial Regulation Number 9 of 2026 as high-risk platforms and are required to restrict children’s access to their services.
Unfortunately, up to the time the regulation took effect, all these platforms had not yet fulfilled their obligations to restrict children’s access to the platforms.
