Jan 14, 2025, 01:07 PM
Indonesia is planning to introduce a minimum age limit for social media users, following Australia's recent ban on children under 16 accessing such platforms. The move, announced by Indonesia's Communications Minister, aims to protect children in the digital space. The specific age limit has not been disclosed, but the initiative has the support of President Prabowo Subianto. This decision comes in the context of high internet penetration in Indonesia, with 79.5% of the population having access to the internet, and 48% of children under 12 using social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
