Jakarta – Deputy Chairman of the MPR Ri Am Akbar Supratman supports the discourse of implementing the policy of one person in one account on each social media platform. According to him, the policy is important to create a healthy, ethical and civilized digital space in Indonesia. “Social media has become a new public space.

One of the reasons is the use of a double or anonymous double account,” Akbar said in his statement, Friday (19/9/2025).
