JAKARTA, April 2 — Indonesia issued a second round of summons letters today to Google and Meta for allegedly flouting a days-old ban on social media access for under-16s.
The Communication and Digital Ministry said it had “issued a second summons letter to Google (YouTube) and Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads) after both parties failed to comply” and warned of “sanctions”.
App-addicted Indonesia began enforcing a social media ban for users under the age of 16 on Saturday, citing threats from online pornography, cyberbullying and internet addiction.
The ministry said Thursday Google and Meta had asked for a postponement and had failed to comply with a first summons issued earlier in the week for alleged non-compliance.
“Summonses can be issued up to a maximum of three times before sanctions are imposed,” the ministry statement said.
It added that “compliance with child protection regulations is not merely an administrative obligation, but a responsibility that has a direct impact on children’s safety in the digital space.”
Concerns have grown globally over the impact of social media on children’s well-being, with Australia becoming the first in the world to require sites to remove accounts held by under-16s. — AFP
