Roblox to introduce new controls in Indonesia to comply with child social media restrictions

LONDON: Video game platform Roblox will introduce content and communications controls in Indonesia for players under 16 to comply with the country’s new social media restrictions for children, the company’s chief safety officer, Matt Kaufman, said in an emailed statement on Wednesday. Indonesia’s Communications and Digital Ministry issued a regulation earlier this month requiring platforms to deactivate “high risk” social media accounts held by under-16s, with the measure to take effect on March 28, according to Communications and Digital Affairs Minister Meutya Hafid.
