<p>The European Commission has registered a new Citizen Initiative, calling for a European social media platform. <br>In detail: The initiative invites the Commission to establish, through a legislative act, “a public social media platform at the European level”. That "would form an alternative to the current platforms and work as a service for the society, be funded by the society and be under its oversight”.<br><a href="https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_522" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_522"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">ec.europa.eu/commission/pressc</span><span class="invisible">orner/detail/en/ip_26_522</span></a> </p><p><a href="/tags/eu/" rel="tag">#EU</a> <a href="/tags/socialmedia/" rel="tag">#SocialMedia</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/socialmedia/" rel="tag">#SocialMedia</a></p>

<p>路透社消息，印尼针对16岁以下青少年的社交媒体限制措施即将生效。印尼政府已将包括 Roblox 和 TikTok 在内的平台列为对年轻用户而言的高风险平台，平台方面表示，他们正在实施安全保障措施。</p><p>随着周六的临近，家长和孩子们都不知道会发生什么——所有 16 岁以下的用户账户是否会被自动停用，或者是否会有新的验证流程。</p><p>印尼通信和数字部长梅蒂亚·哈菲德本月表示，16 岁以下人群的活期账户将从本周六开始逐步停用。周五晚些时候，梅蒂亚告诉记者，X 和 TikTok 将于周六开始停用账户，而 Roblox 将只允许 13 岁以下的用户离线玩游戏。她没有说明这些平台是否不再被视为高风险平台，也没有透露停用的具体细节。</p><p>根据本周发布的一项部长级法令，高风险平台必须调整其最低年龄限制，停用未成年用户的账户，并独立确定其构成的风险。该部表示，如果平台符合与陌生人交谈的可能性、成瘾性和心理风险等标准，则会被认定为高风险平台。</p><p><a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/indonesias-social-media-curbs-kids-set-saturday-few-know-how-it-will-work-2026-03-27/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/indonesias-social-media-curbs-kids-set-saturday-few-know-how-it-will-work-2026-03-27/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.reuters.com/business/media</span><span class="invisible">-telecom/indonesias-social-media-curbs-kids-set-saturday-few-know-how-it-will-work-2026-03-27/</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/社交媒体/" rel="tag">#社交媒体</a> <a href="/tags/年龄验证/" rel="tag">#年龄验证</a> <a href="/tags/互联网抗癌记/" rel="tag">#互联网抗癌记</a> <a href="/tags/socialmedia/" rel="tag">#socialmedia</a> <a href="/tags/ageverification/" rel="tag">#ageverification</a></p>
