        "summary": "Indonesia's Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi) is implementing the Government Regulation on Child Protection in the Digital Realm (PP TUNAS), effective 28 March 2026, which mandates digital platforms to restrict access for users under 16. Platforms like TikTok and Roblox have committed to gradually deactivating accounts for those under 16 and limiting under-13 players to offline mode, respectively, while X\/Twitter and Bigo Live are fully cooperative, with the former raising its minimum age to 16 and the latter upgrading its app rating to 18+. This regulation underscores the government's push to safeguard minors online, with partial and full compliance from major platforms signalling proactive industry response.",
        "content": "<p>The Indonesian government, through the Ministry of Communication and\nDigital (Komdigi), has officially begun implementing the Government\nRegulation on Child Protection in the Digital Realm (PP TUNAS) as of 28\nMarch 2026. PP Tunas was officially enacted by President Prabowo\nSubianto on 28 March 2025, exactly one year before the regulation takes\nfull effect. The regulation requires digital platforms to limit access\nfor underage users. Minister of Communication and Digital Meutya Hafid\nstated that two platforms are classified as \u201cpartially cooperative\u201d. The\nMinister noted that TikTok has provided a written commitment to the\ngovernment to promptly deactivate accounts of users under 16 years old\nin phases. \u201cTikTok has committed to deactivating accounts of users under\n16 years old gradually. Tomorrow, they will announce the operational\nroadmap for users aged 14-15 years,\u201d said Meutya during a press\nconference in Jakarta on Friday night (27\/3\/2026). On the other hand,\nthe gaming platform Roblox has adopted a slightly different approach.\nThey have conveyed plans to adjust features, where players identified as\nunder 13 years old will in the future only be allowed to play in offline\nmode. \u201cIt is possible that for certain ages, the online access will be\nturned off. We appreciate that adjustment as well,\u201d said Meutya. Besides\nTikTok and Roblox, X\/Twitter and Bigo Live are also prepared to comply\nwith PP Tunas. Meutya stated that both platforms are \u201cfully\ncooperative\u201d, meaning they have already begun implementing the PP Tunas\nrules on their respective platforms. For X\/Twitter, Meutya said that the\nplatform has aligned its community guidelines by changing the minimum\nuser age to 16 years as of 17 March. Although it previously requested an\nextension, Elon Musk\u2019s platform has committed to starting to identify\nand deactivate underage child accounts from tomorrow. Bigo Live has even\nwritten to the App Store (Apple) to raise its app classification rating\nfrom age 13 to 18+. To ensure no underage users slip through, they have\nimplemented a layered moderation system that combines artificial\nintelligence (AI) technology and human verification.<\/p>",
