Supporting PP Tunas, TelkomGroup Creates Safe Digital Space for Children

Indonesia’s Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs (Menkomdigi), Meutya Hafid, emphasised the importance of digital literacy, technology ethics, and collaboration among all stakeholders in realising a safe digital space for the younger generation, in line with Government Regulation Number 17 of 2025 on the Governance of Electronic System Operators in Child Protection (PP TUNAS).

This was conveyed by Meutya Hafid while attending the Open Senate Graduation Session of Telkom University for Period II of the 2025/2026 Academic Year, held at the Telkom University Convention Hall in Bandung on Saturday (25/4). The Minister’s presence was accompanied by the President Director of PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (Telkom), Dian Siswarini, and the Director of Wholesale & International Service at Telkom, Budi Satria Dharma Purba, who were welcomed by the Rector of Telkom University, Prof. Dr. Suyanto, along with his staff.

This graduation moment is seen as a strategic point to strengthen leadership values, digital ethics, and readiness to face industry challenges. Through adaptive, innovative human resources with superior digital literacy, Indonesia is expected to be increasingly prepared to achieve the Golden Indonesia 2045 vision.

In her speech, Menkomdigi Meutya Hafid stated that Telkom University graduates, as part of an institution that is the heart of national digital and innovation efforts, are not only equipped with academic degrees but also with a moral responsibility to help navigate Indonesia’s digital future. She emphasised that the younger generation plays a crucial role in the nation’s sustainability, including supporting the creation of a safe, healthy, and equitable digital space as mandated by PP TUNAS.

“This knowledge equips you not just to follow the flow of digitalisation, but to boldly take steps to play a role as drivers and to create value by expanding the benefits of technology and strengthening the nation’s competitiveness, especially in the digital field,” she said, quoted on Tuesday (28/4/2026).

She added that the current digital space challenges are not only about accelerating technology but also the increasing misinformation and various cyber risks. Therefore, the role of the younger generation is very important as agents of digital literacy in society.

“I must convey that misinformation is not just a local issue, but a global challenge according to the World Economic Forum 2025. Wherever you are in the future, become guides for digital literacy in your respective areas. The government cannot work alone; we need you to be guardians of truth amid this flood of information,” the Minister stressed.

As Indonesia’s leading digital telco company, TelkomGroup fully supports the implementation of this government policy, both through service policies and innovations provided to customers and the public. This commitment is realised through strengthening digital security, enhancing the implementation of personal data protection, and developing safe and responsible digital solutions.

Telkom not only expands national connectivity and ensures cyber security in its services but also actively provides various educational programmes for the younger generation and educational communities in various regions on digital media ethics, cyber security, and positive use of technology. These efforts are part of TelkomGroup’s concrete contribution to supporting the implementation of PP TUNAS while encouraging the creation of a healthy and inclusive national digital ecosystem.

As part of its ongoing contribution to human resource development, the Telkom Education Foundation plays a strategic role through an integrated education ecosystem, from kindergarten to higher education levels. At the primary and secondary education levels, the Telkom Education Foundation instils character foundations, literacy, and initial understanding of digital technology.

Meanwhile, at the higher education level, including Telkom University, the focus is on producing superior digital talents ready to meet industry needs, driving innovation, and contributing to the national digital transformation.

Telkom’s President Director, Dian Siswarini, expressed appreciation to the graduates while reaffirming the corporation’s commitment to participate in producing a younger generation with quality and global competitiveness in the digital era. For her, today’s university graduates are demanded not only to be academically intelligent but also to have integrity, resilience, and concern for the nation’s progress.

“We see today’s graduates not only as job seekers but as agents of change, individuals capable of creating solutions, opening opportunities, and providing real impact for society and certainly for the nation,” Dian stated.

As a technology and entrepreneurship-based university, Telkom University is committed to producing the nation’s successors who can actively participate in the national digital transformation ecosystem. Telkom University continues to encourage the emergence of superior talents who are adaptive, innovative, and globally competitive.

On the same occasion, TelkomGroup through Telkom University also reaffirmed its commitment to building a safe and sustainable digital ecosystem through a declaration of developing human-centric Safe AI. Ultimately, this initiative embodies the active role of higher education institutions in ensuring that technological innovations, including artificial intelligence, remain oriented towards human values and the protection of the nation’s successors.

Telkom University’s Rector, Prof. Dr. Suyanto, delivered a declaration that Telkom University is dedicated to creating a safe digital ecosystem through human-centric Safe AI innovations to protect and empower the nation’s youth.
