Regarding Age Restrictions for Children on Social Media, Expert Highlights Verification Mechanism
Cybersecurity expert Pratama Persadha has raised concerns about the implementation of policies restricting children under 16 years of age from accessing high-risk digital platforms, emphasising the critical need for robust age verification mechanisms. He argues that relying solely on user declarations of age during registration is insufficient, as children can easily misrepresent their age, rendering age restrictions merely symbolic rules that are difficult to enforce. Persadha proposes integration with Indonesia's national digital identity system as a solution, alongside layered protection approaches including stricter privacy settings, restricted anonymous interactions, and responsive content moderation systems.
