200 Digital Platforms Submit Child Safety Risk Reports in Indonesia

Indonesia's Ministry of Communication and Digital announced that 200 digital platforms operating in the country have submitted their self-assessment reports on child safety risks. This submission fulfills a requirement under Government Regulation No. 17 of 2025, known as PP Tunas, which aims to establish a safer digital environment for children.

The platforms that have complied span various sectors, including e-commerce, gaming, and entertainment. Prominent companies such as Netflix, ChatGPT, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), Shopee, Tokopedia, and Lazada are included in this group. The ministry is currently evaluating these reports to verify and categorize the actual threat levels each platform poses to child safety.

Minister Meutya Hafid stated that the government is reviewing the submissions to determine if platforms are high-risk. She explained that the government is adopting a risk-based regulatory framework to encourage technology companies to fundamentally improve their practices. "We don't just limit children's access; we want to see changes in platform behavior. That's why we are implementing risk-based regulation," she asserted.

This regulatory framework has already prompted significant enforcement actions from global tech companies. Data from the ministry indicates that TikTok has deactivated 4.1 million child accounts as of June 2026, while YouTube removed 600,000 child accounts in May 2026. Minister Meutya urged all digital platforms that have not yet submitted their reports and child account governance policies to comply with the new regulations, warning of continued monitoring and enforcement.
