Indonesian Government Delays Social Media Access for Minors Amid Growing Concerns

Published on 3.30.25

  The Indonesian government has taken steps to address online safety for minors by delaying social media access for children in response to growing concerns about the impact of online content on young minds. President Prabowo Subianto's announcement follows a directive from Minister Meutya Hafid, but details of the regulation remain scarce. This move aims to protect children from potential harm and promote healthy online habits. The decision is part of a broader effort by governments worldwide to mitigate risks associated with online content on young minds. Public figures like Hailey Van Lith, a star player for TCU women's basketball, have also helped break stigmas surrounding mental illness by sharing their experiences. However, her story is not directly related to the Indonesian government's decision and has been removed from this article.
