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.
