From a lifestyle perspective, one might argue that in many Indonesian desa (villages), bathing in the river is a communal necessity, not a performance. There is no inherent shame in it. The problem arises when this act is recorded and uploaded for entertainment. The lens of a smartphone changes the nature of reality. A girl bathing to cool off becomes an "actress" in a viral show she never auditioned for.
The term ABG (Anak Baru Gede/Teenagers) combined with SMP (Junior High School, ages 12-15) places the subjects in a highly vulnerable demographic. At this age, individuals are navigating the precarious transition from childhood to adolescence. They are often aware of their sexuality but lack the legal and emotional maturity to consent to public distribution of their semi-clothed bodies.
Furthermore, the impact on the children involved is devastating. In the rush for likes and shares, no one considers the future of that child. Ten years later, when she applies for a job or gets married, those videos will still exist in the digital sewer. The "entertainment" of today becomes the trauma of tomorrow.
Indonesia’s strict laws regarding pornography and child protection (UU ITE and the Child Protection Act) explicitly forbid the creation and distribution of content that exploits children. Filming ABG SMP in a state of undress, even if they are wearing underwear (as is common), qualifies as a violation if the intent is sexual gratification or commercial gain. Many content creators have faced legal consequences for "village content" that crossed this line.
