Countries Follow Indonesia's Rules: Changes Accelerate Worldwide

Indonesia has introduced new regulations governing children’s use of social media, sparking global changes in policy approaches. Implemented in March 2025, these measures restrict children’s access to social media based on age, with parental permission being crucial for minors aged 13 to 18. Unlike Australia, which has blocked access for children under 16, Indonesia has chosen a more flexible approach, focusing on educational goals and child development.
