RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - The Head of the Digital Ecosystem Agency of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN Indonesia), Firlie Ganinduto, emphasized that fair regulations are key to Indonesia's digital economic transformation. According to him, regulations must be implementable and formulated through genuine dialogue with industry players.

Firlie emphasized that the digital industry does not reject regulations, but instead it needs transparent and fair rules. “However, our concern is how these regulations are drafted, at how fast a pace, and with how deep field understanding,” he said in an online media briefing on “Implementation of Government Regulation No. 17/2025 on Child Safety in the Digital Space (PP TUNAS) Based on Risk and Multi-Stakeholders” in Jakarta on Friday, February 27, 2026.

Firlie also highlighted the process of drafting strategic regulations, such as PP Tunas, the Minister of MSMEs regulation, and ride-hailing regulations. He assessed that these policies have a direct impact on millions of businesses, digital workers, and consumers in Indonesia.

He reminded that regulations should not be drafted hastily without adequate on-the-ground understanding. According to him, hastily drafted regulations risk being difficult to implement, creating business uncertainty, and hindering digital innovation and investment.

“If our goal is to protect MSMEs and the community, then the regulations must be realistic in relation to existing digital business models. They should not be ideal on paper but difficult to implement,” he said.

KADIN encourages the government and stakeholders to open meaningful dialogue and involve business actors from the outset of policy formulation. He emphasized that regulations must protect national interests while allowing the digital economy to grow.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the Indonesian E-Commerce Association (idEA), Hilmi Adrianto, requested that regulations on child protection in the digital space should be based on the principle of balance. He said the policy must guarantee equal treatment and a proportional approach without hindering the digital industry's sustainability.

“Understanding the significance of child protection in the digital space, platforms require equal treatment, proportionality, and a focus on benefits, both for children and industry sustainability,” Hilmi said.

Hilmi also emphasized the need for clear technical implementation guidelines for all stakeholders in this issue. “The derivative regulations of PP TUNAS need to set clear parameters to ensure that their application remains proportional and prevents consequences for users,” he said.

He said that industry players are pushing for regulations to be risk-based, proportional, realistically implementable, and multi-stakeholder in approach.

“This is necessary to ensure that policies are not counterproductive to the goal of protection itself, while still supporting innovation and the growth of a healthy and inclusive digital ecosystem,” Hilmi said. (Gusti Panji/Lasti Martina)
