“In this one-year period, the majority of content was found on Meta, followed by Google, TikTok, X, Telegram, file-sharing platforms, Snack Video, and 10 other websites that we also handled,” Director General of Digital Space Supervision Alexander Sabar said here on Tuesday.
He made this statement during a press conference on online child recruitment by terrorist groups at the National Police (Polri) Criminal Investigation Agency building.
Sabar detailed that of the 8,320 contents handled, 8,275 were reports from related ministries and agencies.
“Counterterrorism Special Detachment 88 (Densus 88) submitted 6,426 reports to us, the National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT) sent 1,836, the intelligence agency contributed 11, one report from the Indonesian Military, and one from the Army Cyber and Crypto Center,” he explained.
In preventing illegal and harmful content, the Ministry has developed a content risk taxonomy to facilitate rapid notice-and-takedown implementation and appeal procedures that protect digital users’ rights.
“Our approach is risk-based, evidence-based, and ensures proportional intervention,” he said.
On child protection, the ministry has enacted Government Regulation No. 17 of 2025 on Electronic System Governance in Child Protection.
Sabar also highlighted the importance of parental and community involvement to prevent children from being recruited by terrorist networks.
“We are strengthening digital literacy in communities to safeguard children online,” he added.
During the same conference, Densus 88 announced the arrest of five suspects allegedly recruiting children into terrorist networks.
Currently, 110 children aged 10 to 18 across 23 provinces are suspected to have been recruited by terrorist groups, according to the National Police.
