The Ministry of Communication and Digital has issued a second summons to Meta and Google because they have not complied with the first summons to undergo an investigation regarding their compliance with regulations on child protection in the digital space.
"Today we issued a second summons to the relevant parties. According to regulations, summonses can be issued up to three times before sanctions are imposed," said Alexander Sabar, Director General of Digital Space Supervision at the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs, in a press statement.
The summons of Meta as the owner of the Threads, Instagram, and Facebook platforms and Google as the owner of YouTube is part of the effort to enforce Government Regulation No. 17 of 2025 concerning the Governance of Electronic System Implementation in Child Protection.
The Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs summoned representatives from Meta and Google because it believes the digital platforms owned by the two technology giants have not complied with the provisions of the Tunas Government Regulation.
Alexander said that Meta and Google responded to the government's first subpoena by requesting a delay due to the need for internal coordination.
"We have received the request for rescheduling, so the obligation to comply with the summons has not yet been fulfilled," he said.
The Ministry of Communication and Digital then issued a second summons as a further step in the process of enforcing regulations on child protection in the digital space.
