JAKARTA – Google Indonesia continues to be committed to creating a safe experience for children in exploring the internet. This is evident from the many Google initiatives that have been carried out.
“For Google, our approach to internet security is layered in terms of products. Then there are also collaborations of course with partners,” said Director of Government Relations and Public Policy of Google Indonesia, Putri Alam.
Some of Google’s initiatives in creating child-friendly internet include:
Enhanced Protection Mode
This feature has been launched in 2020 in Chrome. Enhanced Protection Mode uses AI and machine learning models that identify malicious sites and limit their spread.
The same thing has also been applied to online gambling. So it will automatically block websites and content related to online gambling.
Enhanced Fraud Protection
This feature will provide protection by protecting from sideloading downloaded applications. For information, the application was installed not from official application stores and in several cases it was misused by cybercriminals.
“Now, we provide even further protection by adding enhanced fraud protection for sideloading-up applications from the internet to Google Play Protect,” said Putri.
Google Priority Flaggers
This additional protection feature will report potentially harmful content and violate policies. A special channel will be provided to a number of organizations to report the content.
Google Play Integrity API And Vertex AI Google Cloud
Google provides a Google Play Integrity API solution to protect financial service applications. The service is being tested by BCA.
In addition, there is Vertex AI Cloud to reduce subscription abuse and losses of up to billions of rupiah per month.
YouTube Kids
Google also has YouTube Kids, which is specially created to provide a more controlled environment for children, making it safer to explore on their own.
Family Link
Family Link provides tools that can help parents or guardians to control and understand how their child spends time on their device.
In addition to the features, Google is also actively providing education to the public about the dangers that exist on the internet. One example, Google together with ICT Watch and Gopay have created educational programs related to online gambling, Maluai Judi Pasti Rugi.
In addition, there is also a collaboration between Google and the Ministry of Communication and Industry in the digital talent training program. Putri said more than 540 cybersecurity professionals had entered the world of work last year.
