JAKARTA - The Ministry of Communication and Digital has summoned Google and Meta to undergo an examination regarding compliance with Government Regulation Number 17 of 2025 concerning the Governance of the Implementation of Electronic Systems in the Protection of Children (PP TUNAS).
This summons is an effort by the government to ensure that digital platforms meet child protection obligations, especially in limiting the use of accounts by users under the age of 16.
The Minister of Communication and Information, Meutya Hafid, emphasized that this step was taken to keep the digital space safe for children.
"This summons is part of a process of law enforcement that is measured and in accordance with procedures. The state is present and firm. There is no tolerance for non-compliance that could potentially harm children in the digital space," Meutya said in his statement.
This step is part of the stage of enforcement of the law as stipulated in the PP TUNAS, starting from supervision which includes monitoring and follow-up inspections, to the imposition of administrative sanctions gradually.
Meutya emphasized that this process was carried out carefully to avoid potential maladministration while ensuring that each action had a strong legal basis.
In addition, Komdigi also gave a warning letter to TikTok and Roblox to immediately show full compliance as the commitment that has been submitted previously.
If there is no significant improvement, the Ministry of Communication and Information will proceed to the summoning and examination stage.
The government also reminds all business entities operating in Indonesia to comply with the policies in force in Indonesia.
In the future, the Ministry of Communication and Information will continue to carry out intensive supervision and will not hesitate to take firm action against platforms that ignore regulations.
