Nurul Arifin Supports Komdigi's Steps, Hopes the Number of PSEs Who Comply with PP Tunas Will Continue to Increase

Member of Commission I of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Nurul Arifin, supports the steps taken by the Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi) which continues to encourage electronic system operators (PSE) to conduct self-assessment as part of the implementation of Government Regulation (PP) Number 17 of 2025 or PP Tunas.

According to Nurul, compliance of digital platforms with PP Tunas is an important step in creating a safer digital space for Indonesian children amid the increasing activity of society in the digital world.

"I appreciate Komdigi's steps in consistently overseeing the implementation of PP Tunas. Child protection in the digital space cannot be negotiated because the challenges we face today are increasingly complex, ranging from exposure to negative content, cyberbullying, to the risk of digital addiction," said Nurul Arifin in Jakarta, Wednesday.

Based on Komdigi data, as of June 9, 2026, 64 PSEs with around 175 digital service platforms have submitted the results of self-assessment. A number of large platforms that have followed the process include Netflix, PUBG, Shopee, Tokopedia, TikTok Shop, Dana, GoPay, Grab, and ChatGPT.

Nurul assessed that this achievement was a good start, but still needed to be improved considering the number of digital platforms operating in Indonesia is very large.

"We certainly welcome it because there are already dozens of PSEs who have adapted to the provisions of the PP Tunas. However, I hope that this number will continue to increase over time so that more platforms show real commitment to child protection," he said.

The Golkar Party politician emphasized that compliance with the Tunas PP should not be seen as a regulatory burden, but as a long-term investment to build a healthy and responsible digital ecosystem.

He also supports Komdigi's steps to verify the results of the self-assessment submitted by digital platform organizers. According to him, a comprehensive evaluation process is needed so that the risk classification of each platform truly reflects conditions in the field.

"We want to ensure that child protection does not only stop at administrative reports, but is actually realized in the form of effective age verification, good content moderation, and the availability of adequate parental supervision features," he said.

Nurul hopes that platforms that have not yet submitted self-assessments can immediately fulfill their obligations in accordance with applicable regulations.

"The sooner the platform adjusts and fulfills the obligations of PP Tunas, the sooner we can create a safe, healthy, and child-friendly digital space. This is a shared responsibility between the government, industry, and society," he said.

PP Tunas requires digital platform organizers to conduct risk assessments of their services, including the risk of exposure to harmful content, interaction with unknown parties, potential digital addiction, and the effectiveness of age verification systems and parental control features for child users.
