MP: Meta's Compliance with PP Tunas Proves Komdigi's Efforts Yield Results

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Member of Commission I of the House of Representatives Amelia Anggraini views the compliance of technology company Meta with Government Regulation Number 17 of 2025 on the Governance of Electronic System Operators in Child Protection (PP Tunas) as proof that the efforts of the Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi) are bearing fruit.

She assesses that this demonstrates that when the state is present with clear regulations and the government consistently oversees their implementation, global digital platforms can ultimately adapt to Indonesia’s national laws.

“So, I see this as a positive step forward, as well as proof that the government’s efforts, in this case Komdigi, are starting to yield results,” said Amelia in a statement in Jakarta on Friday.

According to her, the greater substance of this achievement is the affirmation of the state’s role. She stresses that the state must not lag behind the development of digital platforms, especially when children’s safety and development are at stake.

In addition, she views the state’s presence in the digital space not as opposing technology, but as ensuring that innovation continues alongside the responsibility of protection.

“Our children must grow up in a digital space that is safe, healthy, and appropriate to their age stage,” she said.

However, she stated that compliance from one platform alone is not enough. After Meta, Komdigi needs to continue pushing other platforms to have the same compliance standards.

She reminds that protection must also be strong in other digital spaces, not just one platform. Therefore, the government must be consistent in implementing supervision, uniform compliance measures, and measured follow-up actions against all electronic system operators.

According to her, PP Tunas is not merely about restrictions, but also about the state’s bias towards children. Platforms must comply, the government must consistently monitor, and parents must also remain involved.

“If these three elements work together, then child protection on social media will not stop as a regulation on paper, but will truly become a real protection system,” she said.
