The Importance Of Independent Sensors In The Digital Age
The rapid development of information technology has changed the way people access movies not only through cinemas and television, but also through digital platforms and streaming media. This convenience brings new challenges, namely the increasing risk of exposure to content that is not age-appropriate.
The chairman of the Indonesian LSF, Dr. Naswardi, MM., ME., in his speech said that many internet-based films do not go through an official censorship process. Therefore, people are expected to be smarter in sorting out and choosing spectacles, especially for children. Keep children from elements of violence, pornography, drugs, and other sensitive things," he said.
Appreciation For The Work Of The Nation's Children And Child Protection
Director of Film, Music and Art of the Indonesian Ministry of Culture, Dr. Syaifullah Agam, emphasized the importance of respecting local film works. Indonesia film has become the host in its own country. With the culture of watching, we can respect the work of the nation's children and prevent piracy," he said.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of the MPKS Muhammadiyah Central Executive, Dr. Mariman Darto, SE., M.S., appreciated the opportunity to watch this together with orphans. He also hopes that this activity will become a means of cultural and creative literacy for the younger generation, especially through inspiring works such as the novel and film Asma Nadia.
