JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung said the DKI Provincial Government will follow up on the implementation of Government Regulation (PP) Number 17 of 2025 concerning the Protection of Electronic System Management Governance in Child Protection (PP Tunas) by drafting derivative rules at the regional level.
The rules, which will take effect on March 28, 2026, regulate restrictions on children's access to a number of digital platforms that are considered high-risk, especially at the initial stage of implementation.
"We will immediately make a derivative regulation for the DKI Jakarta Government, later we will work together with the DKI Jakarta DPRD to formulate it," said Pramono at the DKI Jakarta DPRD building, Monday, March 30.
He emphasized that the DKI Provincial Government would provide full support for the policies that have been set by the central government, including in efforts to protect children from exposure to digital content that is not age-appropriate.
Because, Pramono considers that this access restriction is important considering the potential negative impacts that can arise if children are exposed to content that is not in accordance with their developmental stage.
"Because, after all, the danger of threats to problems that can arise because children are not mature and then they consume what they are not, it's not time, it will definitely have a negative impact," he said.
For information, in the initial phase of the implementation of PP Tunas, there are eight digital platforms that are the focus of restrictions, namely YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Threads, Instagram, X, Bigo Live, and Roblox. This policy is expected to be the first step in creating a safer digital space for children.
The Special Staff for Social Communication of the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Chico Hakim, revealed that the Education Office (Disdik) will adjust the rules for using gadgets in the school environment. This adjustment refers to the Regulation of the Minister of Communication and Digital (Komdigi) Number 9 of 2026.
The reinforcement includes technical rules for teachers and principals in supervising the use of gadgets by students during learning activities. Among them: - Restrict the use of gadgets during class hours (except for approved learning purposes).
- Collect student devices in a special place provided by the school.
- Increase supervision, assistance, and socialization of digital space risks to students.
- Encourage more meaningful offline activities.
"Disdik will issue a follow-up guide or circular adjustment in the near future so that implementation in schools is more structured, in line with national regulations, and continues to support a conducive learning process and maintain student mental health," said Chico.
Apart from schools, the DKI Provincial Government has prepared cross-sectoral steps to support the implementation of digital access restrictions for children. Coordination is carried out with a number of related departments, including Diskominfotik.
A number of steps are also being prepared to strengthen supervision and assistance, not only in schools but also in the family and community environment.
Among them are mass socialization to parents, schools, RT/RW communities, and the community through the official channel of the Provincial Government, social media, and public forums. Then, coordination with digital platforms to ensure compliance in the Jakarta area. Then, strengthening family digital literacy, so that online restrictions are balanced with more active parental guidance.
"We see this regulation as an opportunity to encourage children to be more active in the real world, namely learning, playing, and socializing in a healthy way," said Chico.
