Jakarta, INTI - The Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Kemenkomdigi) has revealed the formula for administrative fines for violations of Government Regulation No. 17 of 2025 on Electronic System Governance for Child Protection (PP Tunas).
The fine scheme uses a proportional approach based on the violation index and the scale of the Electronic System Provider (PSE) business.
Mediodecci Lustarini, Secretary of the Directorate General of Digital Space Supervision Kemenkomdigi, stated that there are four components in the violation index that form the basis for determining fines. The four components are the impact on children, the period or duration of the violation, the risk mitigation efforts implemented by the PSE, and the history of previous violations.
"There is also a maximum limit, so for smaller companies, the maximum is Rp100 million," Mediodecci said in Jakarta on Monday, May 4.
She explained that for smaller companies, the maximum fine is Rp500 million. Meanwhile, for medium-scale companies/platforms, the maximum fine is Rp10 billion, and for large-scale or global platforms, the maximum fine is 6% of global revenue.
PP Tunas Also Applies to Private and Public PSE
The scope of the Tunas PP regulations extends beyond eight major platforms such as TikTok, Roblox, Facebook, Instagram, Thread, X, Bigo Live, and YouTube. These regulations also apply to Private Scope PSE and Public Scope PSE.
Within Private Scope PSE, six service categories are regulated, including search engines, e-commerce and marketplaces, fintech services, banking, and services that collect personal data on a large scale.
With the scheme, Kemenkomdigi aims to create a deterrent effect for platforms that fail to comply. However, Mediodecci emphasized that this regulation is still under discussion, particularly regarding the mechanism for Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP).
“It is being discussed together with the Ministry of Finance," she said.
PSEs Can File for Objection
Furthermore, Komdigi is also welcoming input from the industry regarding the administrative fine scheme. Mediodecci stated that there is a mechanism for PSEs to file objections.
She ensured that Kemenkomdigi guarantees the rights of PSEs through a fair, transparent, and structured process, from submission and processing to the determination and delivery of the decision.
Mediodecci added that if the objection is officially rejected, PSEs have the final right to file a lawsuit through the State Administrative Court (PTUN).
"This means that we also regulate this in the PP TUNAS and PM, and there is a mechanism," she said.
Mediodecci emphasized that Kemenkomdigi views PSEs as part of the digital economy industry, which will be the backbone of the future economy. Therefore, the regulations implemented must ensure a fair, transparent, and structured process, both in terms of stages and timeframes.
"These are the steps we are taking today, and this is perhaps all we can convey at this time. Hopefully, it will be accepted," he said.
Conclusion
Kemenkomdigi plans an administrative fine scheme for violations of Government Regulation No. 17 of 2025 (PP Tunas), using a proportional approach based on the violation index and the scale of the Electronic System Provider (PSE) business. Fines are determined based on four main factors: the impact on children, the duration of the violation, mitigation efforts, and the history of violations. This regulation applies broadly, not only to large platforms but also to various digital services such as search engines, e-commerce, fintech, and banking. Kemenkomdigi is still discussing this with the Ministry of Finance.
