Change
Indonesia began enforcing a regulation on March 30, 2026 that prohibits people under 16 from accessing or holding accounts on platforms including YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Threads, X, Bigo Live and Roblox.
Why it matters
Covered digital platforms may not permit users under 16 to register for or access accounts within Indonesia. Platform operators therefore face a direct compliance obligation to prevent under-16 access across services available in the country.
Implications
  • — Platform compliance, product/engineering and legal teams operating in Indonesia must prevent account creation and access for users under 16 immediately — failure to do so constitutes non-compliance with the new Indonesian regulation.
