On March 28, a new Indonesian law went into effect. The new law restricts children under 16 from accessing social media and other popular online platforms. All business entities operating in Indonesia are required to comply. The new law has received mixed reactions in some quarters. CGTN Stringer interviewed Indonesians to get their views.

One interviewee, Andre, said, "I think it's good to restrict social media for kids under 16 years old. To limit the content that is not good for the age group." However, another interviewee, Amadeus Syailendratama, held a different view, believing that the government should focus more on education rather than prohibition.
