Indonesia has taken significant action regarding child social media engagement, leading to the deactivation of around 4.7 million accounts of users younger than 16 on platforms such as TikTok and YouTube. This initiative, part of fresh regulations to combat cyberbullying and addiction, reflects a broader worldwide movement encouraging other platforms to implement similar safeguards for the protection of children online.
