In a massive blow to Chinese social network TikTok, Indonesia has banned e-commerce transactions on social media
platforms, the trade minister said on Wednesday, in a blow to short video app TikTok, which is doubling down on Southeast Asia’s biggest economy to boost its e-commerce business.
A TikTok Indonesia spokesman said it would pursue a constructive path forward and was “deeply concerned” with the announcement, “particularly how it would impact the livelihoods of the six million” local sellers active on TikTok Shop. Zulkifli said TikTok had one week to comply with the regulation or face the threat of closure. Indonesia deputy trade minister Jerry Sambuaga earlier this month named TikTok’s live-streaming features as an example of people selling goods on social media.
