Abstract generation in progress

YouTube, owned by Alphabet Inc., is in talks with Indonesian authorities regarding a new regulation set to block under-16 users from “high risk” social media platforms like YouTube and TikTok starting March 28. This move poses a direct challenge to Alphabet’s core business, as YouTube generated over $60 billion in annual revenue in 2025. The situation highlights a growing global trend of increased scrutiny and regulation concerning teen social media use, amidst improving but still imperfect age assurance technologies.
