According to him, the importance of regulations related to child protection in this digital space.
Not only because of the large amount of pornographic and violent content spread across the media watched by the public, but also because of the content against children.
"For us, it's clear, if that's the case, it can't be in our digital space, let alone child prostitution. However, there is also a disease, this is a social disease. For what reason? Once the child becomes a victim, later he will become a perpetrator. So rich in cycles," he explained further.
