The Indonesian authorities have summoned officials from Google and Meta over what they said was a failure to comply with a new law that bars children younger than 16 from accessing social media, adding pressure on the tech giants as they contend with similar complaints from Australian regulators.

Earlier this month, the Indonesian government announced that, starting last Saturday, social media companies had to verify users’ ages and deactivate accounts of those under 16.

Many underage users in Australia, the first country to enforce such sweeping restrictions on social media, have said they were able to bypass age verification systems since the law there went into effect late last year.

In a social media post on Monday, Meutya Hafid, Indonesia’s minister of communication and digital affairs, said that Google’s video streaming service YouTube and Meta’s Facebook, Instagram and Threads were violating the Indonesian law. The two companies did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Ms. Meutya said the government was not particularly surprised that there were attempts by one or two companies — which she did not identify — to evade their obligations, especially because “those platforms had already expressed resistance” in the initial stages of discussion. But she made it clear that the law was here to stay.

“The path chosen by the state is to delay access until children are ready,” she said.

The new laws in Indonesia and Australia reflect a growing consensus around the world about the hazards of unfettered social media use for the young. Malaysia and Spain are among other countries mulling similar restrictions.
