About
Meutya Hafid is the Communications and Digital Affairs Minister of Indonesia. She is newsworthy due to her recent announcement and implementation of significant regulations concerning online access. Specifically, she signed a government regulation that will ban children under 16 from having accounts on high-risk digital platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, Roblox, and Bigo Live, starting March 28, 2026. This move aims to protect children from pornography, cyberbullying, online scams, and addiction. Additionally, Hafid oversaw the temporary blocking of Elon Musk's Grok chatbot in Indonesia due to concerns about AI-generated pornographic content and deepfakes, citing violations of human rights and dignity. These actions position Hafid as a key figure in shaping Indonesia's digital landscape and addressing online safety concerns.
