Roblox Adds Content and Communication Controls for Users Under 16 in Indonesia
The online gaming platform Roblox will add content controls and special communication features for users aged under 16 in Indonesia.
This policy is being implemented as part of adjustments to child protection regulations in the digital realm that will soon take effect in Indonesia.
The content controls and special communication features for users under 16 represent an addition to the protection system previously applied on the platform.
Roblox states that this step demonstrates the company’s commitment to complying with applicable rules in Indonesia, while also enhancing user safety, particularly for children and adolescents.
The addition of these controls will encompass settings for the types of content that can be accessed, as well as inter-user communication features, which have long been a key aspect of community-based platforms like Roblox.
This Roblox initiative is inseparable from the Indonesian government’s policy through Government Regulation (PP) Number 17 of 2025 on the Governance of Electronic System Operators in Child Protection, or commonly known as PP Tunas.
The regulation requires digital platforms to enhance child protection, including in terms of content access, social interactions, and risk management in the digital space.
As a derivative of this regulation, the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi) has also established technical rules mandating platforms to conduct risk assessments and implement appropriate safeguarding mechanisms for child users.
In this context, Roblox states that it will continue to collaborate with Komdigi to ensure that the risk assessment process is fulfilled in accordance with applicable provisions.
This collaboration aims to help users and parents understand the types of content available in the game, while ensuring a safer playing experience for children.
Roblox emphasises that its platform is used by millions of players in Indonesia and serves as a space for users to learn, create, and interact online.
With these additional controls, Roblox hopes to deliver a safer digital experience, in line with growing attention to child protection in the online world.
