Netflix has received praise from Indonesia’s Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs, or Komdigi, after its Family Festival 2026: World of Wonder in Jakarta was seen as aligned with child-safe digital standards.
The response matters because the government is moving faster to implement PP Tunas, a policy designed to strengthen child protection in digital spaces. In that context, Netflix was highlighted as a platform that can still be creative while following the rules.
Komdigi Sees A Practical Example
Deputy Minister Nezar Patria said the event showed that regulation does not have to suppress innovation. He said Netflix was able to combine compliance with an engaging experience for families while still giving room to local creators.
“We give high appreciation to Netflix for the World of Wonder event today. Netflix created an event that, in my view, is very good and in line with PP Tunas,” Nezar Patria said in Jakarta on Saturday, July 11, 2026.
He also stressed that children who use streaming services need viewing experiences that match their age. For that reason, age restrictions and child protection standards are central to the implementation of PP Tunas.
| Event | Location | Noted Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Netflix Family Festival 2026: World of Wonder | Jakarta | Presented as support for safe content standards for families and children |
| Screening of Aku Sebelum Aku | Part of the same event series | A work by director Gina S. Noer that supported quality family content |
As part of the same program, Netflix also screened the Indonesian film Aku Sebelum Aku, directed by Gina S. Noer. That move was also praised because it supported the growth of quality family content in Indonesia.
Komdigi Wants Other Platforms To Follow
Nezar said he hopes Netflix’s approach can become a reference for other digital platforms when introducing PP Tunas to the public. According to him, events such as World of Wonder show that regulatory education can be delivered in an appealing way.
He added that child protection in digital spaces has already shown positive progress. A number of digital platforms and social media services are now offering child-specific features, applying age limits for accounts, and tightening their monitoring systems.
Komdigi, however, will continue evaluating how well platforms implement PP Tunas so the standards improve over time. The goal is to make Indonesia’s digital ecosystem safer, healthier, more educational, and more inspiring for children.
The reception given to Netflix suggests that compliance and creative industry innovation can move together. As the government pushes stronger protection for children online, the World of Wonder event is being positioned as a model that other digital platforms in Indonesia may follow.
