Jakarta, INTI - The implementation of digital platform compliance with the TUNAS Regulation has begun to show significant progress.
TikTok has become the first platform to report measurable compliance achievements by disabling 1.7 million accounts belonging to children under the age of 16.
The figure marks a substantial increase from the previous data announced on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, when TikTok had removed around 780,000 child accounts.
Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs Meutya Hafid stated that TikTok’s move demonstrates how compliance with the TUNAS Regulation is shifting from commitment to concrete implementation.
“As of today, 1.7 million accounts belonging to children under the age of 16 have been deactivated on the TikTok platform,” she said during a press conference on the TUNAS Regulation Compliance Update at the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs office in Central Jakarta on Tuesday, April 28, 2026.
In addition to disabling child accounts, the government and TikTok also discussed more detailed and measurable future compliance action plans, including stronger efforts to combat digital crimes such as online gambling on the platform.
Government Urges All Digital Platforms to Submit Compliance Assessments
Meutya Hafid emphasized that while the government appreciates TikTok’s concrete actions, compliance with the TUNAS Regulation applies to all digital platforms.
“We urge platforms that have expressed their commitment to compliance not to stop at statements alone, but to immediately report the concrete measures they have taken to the Indonesian public through the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs,” she stressed.
The minister also reminded all platforms to submit their compliance self-assessments before the June 6, 2026 deadline.
The step is considered important to ensure that the compliance evaluation process can be conducted more quickly and systematically.
“For those who have not yet submitted, please provide your self-assessment soon so the process does not pile up toward the deadline, allowing our assessment team at the ministry to review them more efficiently,” she added.
Meanwhile, Hilmi Ardianto stated that user safety remains TikTok’s top priority, including through the implementation of community guidelines and compliance measures aligned with Indonesian regulations.
He added that TikTok continues to strengthen its collaboration with the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs to promote digital literacy, child protection, and the handling of high-risk content, including online gambling.
“We highly appreciate Komdigi for being our long-standing partner in advancing digital literacy and campaigns such as anti-online gambling initiatives. The goal is to further improve digital literacy among the Indonesian public,” he said.
Conclusion
The Indonesian government views TikTok’s latest actions as an important milestone in the implementation of the TUNAS Regulation, signaling a shift from policy commitments to measurable enforcement. As compliance monitoring continues, all digital platforms are expected to accelerate concrete actions, strengthen child protection measures, and actively support safer digital ecosystems in Indonesia.
