JAKARTA - The Ministry of Population and Family Development/BKKBN affirms its commitment to supporting the implementation of Government Regulation (PP) No. 17 of 2025 concerning Child Protection in the Digital Land or called PP Tunas.
The Minister of Population and Development of the Family/Head of BKKBN, Wihaji, reminded again the role of all parties in the success of the implementation of PP TUNAS which was launched by the President in March.
He highlighted the new challenges in modern families, namely the dominance of gadgets in children's lives. "Today there is a new family called cellphones, I am not anti-mobiles, but be careful, children now on average they hold 7 to 8 hours (mobile phones)," said Wihaji.
As a form of its commitment to protecting children in the digital space, BKKBN will try to run the 'Ngobrol' movement as an effort to reduce children's dependence on cell phones.
"What is chatting? One of them is reducing the dominance of cellphones that make algorithms to us," Wuhaji explained to the media crew on Thursday, July 31 in Jakarta.
He also appealed to parents and children to interact more at home. Thus, children's dependence on their cellphones will decrease, and communication with their parents will increase.
