JAKARTA — Videogame ⁠platform Roblox will introduce ​content and communications controls for players under 16 in ​Indonesia to comply ‌with the country's social media block for children, Matt Kaufman, Roblox's Chief Safety Officer, said in an emailed statement on Wednesday. Indonesia will require platforms to ​deactivate "high risk" social ⁠media accounts for under 16s, according to a ministerial regulation issued earlier this month. Social media ​platform ⁠X, formerly Twitter, said that starting from March 28, its Indonesian users must be at least ⁠16 years old to have an account. X said on its website that Indonesia's minimum age requirement "prevents age-restricted social media platforms, including X, from letting ⁠people under 16 create or keep an account. Several countries, including Australia, have imposed curbs on social media for children ‌amid mounting concerns ⁠about the safety and mental ​health of underage users.
