The MiChat application was the most frequently used online medium in cases of sexual exploitation, trafficking, and child labor, accounting for 41%. This was followed by WhatsApp and Facebook at 21% and 17%, respectively.

RedDoorz was also frequently used as an online medium in cases of sexual exploitation, trafficking, and child labor, at 4%. Meanwhile, 17% of cases involved other unknown online mediums.

According to the KPAI, MiChat is most often misused in child prostitution cases. The modus operandi involves pimps offering underage children to clients through the application. Based on this, the KPAI is urging the government to evaluate the use of MiChat.
