Countries such as France, Singapore, Malaysia, and the European Union have expressed interest, viewing Indonesia's approach as a potential global model given its large child population. The regulation, effective from 28 March 2026, mandates platforms like Meta, X, and Bigo Live to comply fully, while TikTok and Roblox partially adhere, and Google (YouTube) shows reluctance, highlighting the international significance of Indonesia's pioneering efforts in child digital safety.",
