Indonesia has become one of the first countries globally to implement\nRoblox\u2019s age-based account system, effective 19 May 2026. The move\nintroduces two new account categories \u2014 Roblox Kids and Roblox Select \u2014\nspecifically designed to protect users under the age of 16.<\/p>\n
The policy follows a strategic meeting between Roblox management and\nCommunication and Digital Minister Meutya Hafid in April, reinforcing\nthe platform\u2019s compliance with Indonesia\u2019s child protection regulations,\nparticularly PP TUNAS.<\/p>\n
Under the new system, players can no longer access all content\nanonymously. Global age-verification technology will automatically\nassign users to appropriate account types, ensuring curated content,\ncommunication features, and social interactions are strictly\nmonitored.<\/p>\n
Roblox Chief Safety Officer Matt Kaufman stated that Indonesia is\nleading in digital child protection. \u201cWe are proud to deliver a positive\nonline space for millions of Indonesian players. This system ensures\nchildren only access age-appropriate content from the moment they start\nplaying,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Local communities have also voiced support. Susi Sukaesih, founder of\nSidina Community, said the initiative brings peace of mind to Indonesian\nmothers, with age-based controls and parental consent features helping\nguardians feel more involved and confident when supervising their\nchildren online.<\/p>\n
To maintain content quality for children\u2019s accounts, Roblox has\nimplemented dynamic screening processes. Game creators and developers\nmust undergo identity verification and pay a publication fee in\nIndonesian Rupiah (equivalent to 1,000 Robux) or subscribe to a premium\nservice. Additionally, AI systems and human moderators will assess\nscenes in real-time to prevent sensitive content or risky free-drawing\ngames for young users.<\/p>\n
Beyond Indonesia, the system is currently being trialled in New\nZealand, Australia, and the Netherlands ahead of a global rollout next\nmonth. (Z-1)<\/p>\n
Meutya revealed that Roblox has approximately 45 million users in\nIndonesia, with an estimated 23 million under 16.<\/p>\n
Roblox will automatically migrate around 23 million under-16 user\naccounts in Indonesia to the new age-based system.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/roblox-launches-age-based-accounts-in-indonesia-roblox-kids-and-select-guide-1780141103", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
