After Australia, Indonesia May Set Age Limit On Social Media Usage.
Indonesia may set age limit on the usage of social media to protect children from harmful online content, according to a Bloomberg report.
In a statement, Indonesia Communications and Digital Affairs Minister Meutya Hafid said that President Prabowo Subianto instructed his ministers to issue regulations to protect children in digital spaces in 1 to 2 months which may include social media age limit.
Regulators also aim to tighten monitoring of online spaces, improve literacy and strengthen enforcement, the Minister said.
This comes after Australia passed a law banning children under the age of 16 from social media platforms. The social media companies were threatened with multi-million dollar fines if they fail to comply with the law.
