Indonesia to restrict social media access for children: Video
Indonesia is introducing new rules to limit social media use for minors in an effort to protect them from online harm.
Under the policy, children under 16 will be restricted from accessing major platforms, while companies must introduce age verification systems to improve safety. The move comes amid growing concerns over cyberbullying, harmful content and excessive screen time among young users. Parents and teachers have largely welcomed the decision, though some stress the need for positive alternatives, such as educational activities and supervised technology use, to support children’s development.
