The Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI) regularly fines television stations for airing "adult-themed" sinetrons before 10 PM. However, streaming platforms fall into a regulatory gray zone.

For the media industry, this keyword is a test. Can we produce content that informs the public about the dangers of incest, supports the legal system, and honors survivors, without exploiting the horror? Or will we continue to feed the algorithm of trauma?

As a society, we must stop clicking on videos that turn child rape into a thriller. We must report channels that sensationalize these cases. And we must demand that Kominfo and streaming CEOs treat incest not as "adult drama," but as a criminal epidemic that deserves sterile, respectful, and strictly factual coverage—never entertainment.

Several films and sinetrons (soap operas) have used incest or parental sexual abuse as a central plot twist. Titles such as "Penyalin Cahaya" (although focusing on revenge porn) and various locally produced FTV (Film Televisi) have occasionally treaded into incest storylines to generate high ratings.

If a real victim of incest watches these documentaries or dramas, it can trigger severe PTSD. Moreover, when a survivor sees their specific story turned into an "entertaining" film without their consent (or even with consent, often bought cheaply), it revictimizes them. They become a product.
