Indonesia: Obligation to submit self-assessment reports in Regulation on Child Protection in Electronic Systems enters into force

On 6 June 2026, the deadline for compliance with the obligation to submit self-assessment reports under the Regulation on Child Protection in Electronic Systems ends for electronic system operators. The regulation mandates that operators provide clear information regarding minimum age limits for their products, services, and features, categorised into five specific age groups, including 3 to 5 years, 6 to 9 years, 10 to 12 years, 13 to 15 years, and 16 to under 18 years. Operators are strictly prohibited from targeting children under the age of three. To ensure compliance, operators must implement technical and operational age verification mechanisms, which can be developed independently or with third-party providers. The policy requires operators to conduct regular self-assessments to evaluate risks such as contact with unknown individuals, exposure to inappropriate or violent content, consumer exploitation, and data security threats. These assessments must be reported to the Ministry for verification.
