JAKARTA - Deputy Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs Nezar Patria explained that currently digital platforms have had a big positive impact on improving women's economy and children's abilities.

Despite demikain, she stressed the importance of keeping women and children safe on the internet, as many of them use digital platforms to earn from new professions such as content creators.

Not only that, but social media and e-commerce platforms are even considered to have transformed MSMEs, most of which are managed by women to develop their business through the internet.

"The more Indonesian children who actively work as content creators on various platforms. Even if we ask what their dreams are? Become content creators, become YouTubers," said Nezar.

Therefore, it is a shared responsibility to mitigate the risks and challenges faced when interacting with the digital world, especially for vulnerable groups such as women and children.

"Online gender-based violence, technological abuse such as deepfakes, falsification of information, and cyber attacks also target groups of women and children," he said.

Through Government Regulation Number 17 of 2025 concerning Governance for the Implementation of Electronic Systems in Child Protection (PP TUNAS), Komdigi hopes to provide protection for children in the digital space.

Wamen Nezar juga meminta para PSE yang belum memiliki tanda daftar agar segera memenuhi kewajibannya dengan mendaftarkan diri sesuai ketentuan yang berlaku.
