JAKARTA - Attorney General ST Burhanuddin asked his staff to avoid playing the Tiktok application, and to be more careful in uploading content on social media.
"Please avoid showing off luxury or hedonism in our daily lives on social media. I also remind you again to friends, avoid playing Tiktok which ends in hedonism," said Burhanuddin in a video entitled 'Directions of the Indonesian Attorney General on the Use of Social Media Wisdom', which was broadcast on the Indonesian Attorney's Office YouTube, quoted on Saturday, October 16.
Responding to this, Digital Business Consultant, Tuhu Nugraha said that if the ban shows the Attorney General does not follow the development of information technology.
"Yes, this will lag behind public developments, because it is also difficult to prohibit (they use TikTok). Now it is better to regulate the signs than ban, but embrace it with some ethics and rules," Tuhu said in his statement to reporters.
He also gave suggestions that there should be no prohibition, but rather provide clear rules.
"You can create Tiktok content with any message and it can't be in any location and its ethics," he said.
He said that the Attorney General's Office could create interesting content related to its performance achievements.
"Yes, that can also be done. So it depends on what message you want to convey to the public. That's very possible, because all levels of society are actually on Tiktok," he said.
According to him, the development of the Tiktok application is currently very fast, because people are tired of Instagram which has to look perfect, happy and rich.
"Tiktok allows people to appear as they are and mainly there is an 'unwritten code of ethics' not to bully each other," he said.
He also gave an example carried out by the Indonesian National Army (TNI) which he said was very good as a benchmark.
"They make a lot of Tiktok members, but never at the TNI headquarters and the theme is almost uniform, namely about the figure of the TNI and their families," he said.
According to him, in the TNI there is no prohibition, but it is more strict with the rules.
"So it is not prohibited but rather how it can help build the reputation of the TNI," he continued.
In addition, the National Police institution also enlivens the content on Tiktok to brand the police image as a friend of the community. However, he reminded that it is related to mitigating the risks when making it in an office environment.
"Yes, members of the Police are also allowed, they want to pursue the image of the police as friends of the public. This requires education about risk mitigation," said Tuhu.
