64 Digital Platform Submit Self-Assessments Under Child Protection Regulation

RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - The Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Digital (Kemkomdigi) has begun evaluating risks posed by digital platforms to children through a self‑assessment method mandated by Government Regulation No. 17/2025 on the Governance of Electronic System Implementation for Child Protection (PP TUNAS).

“Three months have passed since PP TUNAS took effect at the end of March 2026. Currently, around 175 products, services, and features under 64 electronic system providers have completed self‑assessments and submitted them to Kemkomdigi,” Communication and Digital Minister Meutya Hafid said in Central Jakarta on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, as quoted on the ministry’s official website.

She explained that the results of these self‑assessments serve as the basis for the government's evaluation of each platform’s risk level before determining its suitability for specific age groups.

The ministry examines factors such as potential exposure to harmful content, risks of interacting with strangers, addiction, health impacts, and the effectiveness of age-verification systems and parental controls.

“With a risk‑based approach, each risk element must be analyzed individually. We measure every risk, including those related to content, interactions with strangers, addiction, health, and other factors,” she added.

Minister Meutya emphasized that Indonesia’s approach is not only about limiting children’s access to the digital world but also about encouraging platforms to improve their features and governance to enhance child safety.

“Platforms must also strive to improve. Therefore, we measure the changes they implement, including features developed to protect children more effectively,” she said.

Several platforms have reported their self‑assessment results, including streaming services such as Netflix, Vidio, HBO Max, and Disney; gaming platforms such as Roblox, PUBG Online, Valorant, Free Fire, Mobile Legends, and Age of Empires Mobile; e‑commerce platforms such as Shopee, Tokopedia, Lazada, and TikTok Shop; and digital payment services such as Dana, GoPay, and Flip.id.

Kemkomdigi reminded all platforms that have not yet submitted their self‑assessments to fulfill their obligations immediately. Platforms failing to report may be categorized as high‑risk under PP TUNAS.

The government hopes this approach will make Indonesia’s digital ecosystem safer for children by actively involving platform operators in addressing risks and strengthening protection for young users. ***
