The Minister Of Communication And Information Invites All Parties To Maintain Digital Sovereignty And Appreciate The Role Of PSE

JAKARTA - The Minister of Communication and Information, Johnny G. Plate invites all parties to maintain national digital sovereignty.

In the mandate given during the 77th Independence Day Commemoration Ceremony of the Republic of Indonesia, Johnny requested that no new colonialization be formed.

"It does not open a new colonization space, a digital colony, considering that the digital space is extraterritorial and the data that moves in it crosses national borders," said the Minister of Communication and Information based on his press release.

According to the Minister of Communication and Information, data sovereignty is important so that the movement of values and data flows both nationally and globally can be managed properly.

“The use of digital space must refer to and be in line with national regulations and laws. Digital sovereignty is a necessity that must be fought for,” Johnny continued.

In addition, Johnny also appreciated the Electronic System Operator (PSE) for registering. Because according to him, a legal PSE will allow the public to make good use of the digital space.

Moreover, the Minister of Communication and Informatics invites all parties to continue to maintain Indonesia's digital space so that it remains clean and useful for the community.

Kominfo also emphatically said that they will not provide space for illegal acts that violate the law in the digital space.

"Do not provide space for illegal and unlawful acts in the digital space such as radicalism and terrorism, narcotics trafficking, online gambling, online pornography, illegal fintech, and illegal trade and services actions, which are circulated and traded online in Indonesia's digital space," he explained. .
