Since 28 March 2026, Indonesia’s PP Tunas regulation has suspended access by under-16s to high-risk platforms, and Meta has been deactivating accounts it identifies as belonging to children in phases. Adults wrongly flagged as children can follow the age-verification instructions in Meta’s notice, and the Yogyakarta provincial government warns about fake ‘blue tick’ verification offers.
