Indonesia to Implement Age-Restricted Social Media Access for Kids

Indonesia is set to introduce new rules limiting childrens access to social media platforms, starting from March 2026. The regulation will allow children aged 13 and older to use lower-risk sites, while higher-risk platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook will be restricted to users aged 16 and up. This approach differs from Australias full ban for those under 16 and aims to balance online access with safety. The rules target platforms that dont protect children and will impose penalties for failing to verify ages or curb risks like harmful content, strangers, exploitation, or addiction. Indonesia joins a wave of nations tightening restrictions on social media access for kids.
