YouTube Agrees To Indonesia’s Under-16 Social Media Curbs

Video platform YouTube has complied with Indonesia’s social media restrictions for children under 16, the country’s communications minister said on Wednesday.

• Google’s YouTube has handed over a “letter of compliance” to Indonesia’s communications minister, minister Meutya Hafid said in a press conference.

• Early this month, Indonesia had sent Google a letter of reprimand because YouTube was not cooperative with the social media curbs which took effect last month.

• Under the new regulation, Indonesia requires social media companies with platforms it deems high-risk to deactivate accounts belonging to children under 16.
