Komdigi: TikTok Complies with PP Tunas Rules on Age Restriction of 16 Years
JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Indonesia’s Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi) has announced that the digital platform TikTok has today complied with the policy restricting access for users under 16 years of age.
“We are delighted that today the government can express appreciation to the TikTok platform, which has also decided to join the collective movement to protect children, particularly in Indonesia,” said Minister of Communication and Digital Meutya Hafid during a press conference at the Komdigi Office in Central Jakarta on Tuesday (14/4/2026).
Meutya stated that, based on the latest report, TikTok has implemented various compliance measures, marked by the submission of a letter of compliance commitment to the Government of Indonesia regarding the commitment to execute the provisions outlined in PP TUNAS and the relevant ministerial regulation.
Meutya further explained that TikTok has also committed to providing periodic updates on the results of its implementation.
Furthermore, Komdigi noted that TikTok is the first platform to report that, as of 10 April 2026, it has deactivated 780,000 accounts of children under 16 years old in Indonesia.
“This is an initial good victory step for the public, parents, and children in Indonesia, and we once again appreciate TikTok for reporting early on the number of accounts successfully taken down,” she clarified.
Under Ministerial Regulation of Komdigi Number 9 of 2026, which serves as the implementing regulation for PP Tunas, several sanctions apply to platforms that fail to comply, including administrative sanctions such as warning letters, temporary access suspension, and access termination.
The government requires every platform to submit an implementation plan for the policy and report the results of their independent risk profile assessment no later than three months.
The eight platforms in the initial implementation phase of PP TUNAS include Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, Bigo Live, YouTube, TikTok, and Roblox.
Currently, YouTube, under Google, and Roblox have yet to meet the requirements.
