Indonesia Bans Minors From Using Social Media

From March 28, Indonesia began banning children under 16 from social media, the first such rule in Southeast Asia.

On March 28, Indonesia began enforcing a new regulation. Children under 16 years old are not allowed to use social media. TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram are all within the ban scope. The government said this is to protect children. Indonesia has 70 million children under 16 years old. The government is concerned that children will see harmful things online. This is the first similar regulation in Southeast Asia. Australia also has the same regulation.
