Digital platform X has set a minimum user age of 16 in Indonesia, aligning with Government Regulation No. 17 of 2025 (PP Tunas) on child protection in electronic systems.

The Ministry of Communication and Digital said the move reflects compliance with national regulations and efforts to enhance online child safety.

X confirmed it will enforce the rule starting March 27, 2026, including identifying and deactivating underage accounts. The Ministry will monitor implementation to ensure compliance.

Authorities have also urged other Electronic System Providers (PSEs) to take similar action.

Under PP Tunas, accounts of users under 16 on high-risk platforms will be removed to protect children from harmful content, cyberbullying, and digital fraud.
