She highlighted concerns over the exploitation of children's data for monetisation purposes and the fact that children often lack awareness about sharing personal information online. In response, platforms like X, Bigo Live, and Roblox are adjusting their age restrictions and policies ahead of the regulation's implementation on 28 March 2026, aiming to enhance child safety in digital spaces.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Minister of Communication and Digital\n(Menkomdigi) Meutya Hafid has emphasised that Government Regulation\nNumber 17 of 2025 on the Governance of Electronic Systems in Child\nProtection (PP Tunas) was created to protect children\u2019s data\nprivacy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis regulation was indeed introduced to protect children\u2019s data\nprivacy. Children\u2019s data privacy is currently scattered across various\nsocial media platforms,\u201d Meutya stated during a press conference at the\nKomdigi Office in Jakarta on Friday (27\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Meutya explained that children are not yet aware of which data should\nbe shared or withheld.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also suspect, based on numerous studies and legal cases in other\ncountries, that children\u2019s data is being exploited for monetisation\npurposes,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Meutya stressed that the government must take action because\nchildren\u2019s data is widely dispersed on social media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a statement that perhaps social media knows children better\nthan their parents because the data is so scattered on social media,\u201d\nMeutya continued.<\/p>\n<p>It is known that PP Tunas will be implemented tomorrow, Saturday\n(28\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>The X app and Bigo Live are making several changes to their in-app\nrules.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlatform X has announced a change in the minimum age limit to 16\nyears, which was done well in advance on 17 March 2026, as stated on the\nhelp centre page,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Bigo Live has raised the age limit to 18 and above.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBigo Live has adjusted the age limit to 18+ in the user agreement or\nuser content, as well as the privacy and security policy, and has\nsubmitted a request to update the age restriction to the App Store or\napp store,\u201d Meutya added.<\/p>\n<p>Roblox is arranging for users under 13 years old to still use the\napp, but only offline.<\/p>",
