Another week out of country, this time to Jakarta. We're off to Jakarta via Singapore Airlines in an hour but will have an hour stop-over at Singapore. Indonesia will begin restricting access to social media platforms for users under the age of 16 starting March 28, according to an announcement from the country’s communication and digital affairs ministry. Communication and Digital Affairs Minister Meutya Hafid said the new regulation will require “high-risk” digital platforms to remove accounts belonging to Indonesian users below the age limit. Platforms operating in the country will be required to comply with new regulations set by the Indonesian government, though detailed compliance rules have not yet been disclosed. Indonesia’s move follows similar initiatives in other countries seeking to limit social media use among minors. The Indonesian government said the measure is part of broader efforts to regulate online platforms and address concerns about children’s exposure to digital content. Indonesia stepped into the global spotlight as the M7 World Championship officially opened earlier this month, marking a major moment not just for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang esports, but for the country’s growing influence in competitive gaming.
