Jakarta, Indonesia Sentinel — Indonesia Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi) is intensifying efforts to protect children from the growing threat of deepfake abuse in the digital space. The ministry will focusing on three core strategies: boosting digital literacy, cracking down on harmful content, and enforcing child protection regulations.

“Komdigi is committed to creating a safe digital environment for all,” Deputy Minister of Communication and Digital Nezar Patria said in a statement Friday. “We are actively promoting digital literacy education, taking down harmful content, and working with law enforcement to combat digital crimes.”

Nezar warned that the misuse of increasingly sophisticated technologies such as deepfakes and artificial intelligence (AI) poses a serious threat, especially to vulnerable groups like women and children.

He said that Manipulated visual and audio content is not only misleading, it specifically targets the most vulnerable. “While technology offers immense potential, it also opens the door to threats that can erode public trust.”

Citing a report by Sensity AI, Nezar noted a staggering 550 percent increase in deepfake incidents since 2019, with 90 percent of them used for malicious purposes. He added that women and children are disproportionately affected, with at least 11 percent of women aged 15 to 29 reporting online gender-based violence since adolescence.

In response, the ministry recently issued Government Regulation No. 17 of 2025, also known as PP Tunas, which mandates safeguards in digital platforms to protect children.

“We hope local governments will step up outreach efforts, particularly in schools and community settings,” Nezar said, emphasizing the importance of digital literacy as a core life skill, including critical thinking, media discernment, and data privacy.

“AI should be a tool for imagination and innovation, not one that harms or exploits others,” he stated firmly.

Komdigi is calling on regional governments, civil society groups, and families to join forces in building a healthier and safer digital ecosystem as Indonesia moves toward a more inclusive digital transformation.

“By maximizing the benefits and minimizing the risks, we can collectively empower a smart and competitive generation on the path to Indonesia Emas 2045,” Nezar said.
