Regulatory Process and PP TUNAS Compliance
The risk categorization is part of ongoing enforcement tied to Government Regulation Number 17 of 2025 (PP TUNAS), which mandates stricter safeguards for minor users across electronic systems. According to reporting by IDN Times, the risk assessment of digital platforms is carried out through structured stages. The process begins with a self-assessment conducted by Electronic System Providers (PSE), which is then verified by Komdigi to determine the specific risk profiles of products, services, and features. Bisnis Tekno notes that under the six-month rollout window following the introduction of PP TUNAS, authorities are actively monitoring whether major platforms—including Facebook and related services—comply with mandates such as removing accounts belonging to children under the age of 16. Minister of Communication and Digital Meutya Hafid emphasized that these comprehensive evaluations are critical for verifying that child protection obligations are not merely fulfilled on paper. According to IDN Times, Meutya stated that mandatory rules must be implemented through concrete actions by digital platform operators, ensuring alignment between established regulatory requirements and everyday digital operations.
Parental Supervision and Next Steps
With the risk profiles now public, regulatory bodies and parenting outlets are urging families to exercise caution and increase digital oversight. IDN Times notes that parents and guardians should actively accompany children while they access digital services to keep their online activities secure.
