Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs issued Interim ruling in its investigation into Roblox over child protection compliance in Indonesia

On 14 August 2025, the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (KOMDIGI) requested Roblox, a registered Electronic System Provider (PSE) since 2022, to enhance its platform’s systems to comply with Indonesian child protection regulations. The request follows growing concerns from parents and educators about children’s exposure to inappropriate content and interactions on the platform. KOMDIGI asked Roblox to implement measures such as limiting communication between child users, filtering vulgar user-generated content, and clarifying parental control features. The Ministry noted that these steps aim to strengthen safeguards for Indonesian children in the digital environment and indicated that Roblox will undergo regular evaluations to ensure continued compliance with applicable regulations.
