Bandung, March 31, 2026 — A discussion titled “Reviewing the Implementation of PP TUNAS Komdigi: Three Days After the Deletion of Children’s Accounts on Several Digital Platforms” was held as an initial evaluation forum on the implementation of child protection policies in the digital space following the enactment of Government Regulation Number 17 of 2025 on the Governance of Electronic System Implementation for Child Protection (PP TUNAS). The discussion examined developments in the regulation’s implementation following several digital platforms' deactivation of accounts belonging to underage users who do not meet the minimum age requirements.It was conveyed that the implementation of PP TUNAS is a strategic step by the government, through the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs, to create a safe, healthy, and child-friendly digital environment. This is achieved by restricting account access based on age, strengthening age-verification systems, and increasing digital platforms' responsibility for protecting children. Within three days of implementation, several platforms began adjusting their policies, gradually deactivating children’s accounts to comply with government regulations.
The discussion also highlighted various implementation challenges, including the technical readiness of platforms to verify users’ ages, the potential misuse of personal data, the need for parental education on children’s supervision in digital spaces, and the importance of continuous government monitoring and evaluation mechanisms.
The main conclusion of the discussion was that implementing PP TUNAS is a significant step toward strengthening child protection in the digital era. The discussion also emphasized that active collaboration among the government, digital platforms, parents, educational institutions, and the broader community is essential for effective and sustainable policy implementation.
