Indonesia eyes e-commerce ban for under-16s: minister to AFP

"E-commerce (platforms) are next, because we found children who became scam victims through e-commerce," Communications and Digital Minister Meutya Hafid said in an interview in Jakarta, without providing further details. In March, app-addicted Indonesia started enforcing a social media ban for under-16s in a bid to shield some 70 million children from the threats of online pornography, cyberbullying and internet addiction. The policy followed Australia's landmark move in December to stop teenagers holding accounts on many popular platforms.
