The Ministry of Communication and Digital of Indonesia has begun verifying 14 digital services owned by Apple to ensure their features comply with the child protection standards.
Minister of Communication and Digital Meutya Hafid said that the information was also conveyed to Apple Managing Director of Asia Pacific Mike Orgill during a meeting with Minister Hafid on Wednesday (July 1).
The 14 services verified cover various products within the Apple ecosystem, including iMessage, Safari, Siri, Apple Music, Apple TV, and other digital services.
According to Hafid, each digital service will be evaluated separately based on its characteristics, features, and potential risks to children, allowing for a more comprehensive verification process.
Responding to the initiative, Apple Asia Pacific Managing Director Mike Orgill said child protection is one of the company’s top global priorities.
He said Apple has developed a range of digital safety features that will be further enhanced through operating system updates later this year.
The updates include expanded parental controls, improved detection of harmful content such as nudity, violence, and graphic content, as well as enhancements to the Child Account system, which enables parents to monitor their children’s digital activities.
