Indonesia to push social media protections ahead of age-limit law

Indonesia plans to set a minimum age for social media users to protect children, according to Communications Minister Meutya Hafid.
The proposal follows Australia's decision to ban children under 16 from accessing social media, with fines for tech companies if they fail to comply.
A survey showed that nearly 50% of children under 12 in Indonesia use the internet, with some accessing platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
The government will issue interim child protection guidelines for social media companies while working on a law for age limits, as stated by a senior Communications Ministry official.
