Some supportReported by 1 outlet

As part of compliance with Indonesia's "PP Tunas" regulation, Meta deactivated 184,000 children under the age of 16 across its platforms. This included 85,000 accounts on Instagram and 99,000 accounts on Facebook. Meta also migrated 22.5 million children's accounts into a "teen account" category. Separately, TikTok deactivated 9 million children's accounts in Indonesia under the same regulation.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The actions reflect regulatory pressure from the government of Indonesia on major social media platforms. The government stated that the "teen account" settings on Instagram and Facebook still fall into the high-risk category. Furthermore, the government urged Meta to immediately demonstrate commitment regarding the Threads platform, which had not yet reported compliance measures.

Meta's new limits and actions regarding Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Snapchat are underway amid competitive and regulatory pressures.
