    Complaints following Indonesia integration

    Indonesia regulatory suspension

    Indonesian authorities required TikTok to stop direct e-commerce transactions through the app, citing rules and concerns involving social-media commerce, smaller merchants, consumer protection, and data governance. The matter was resolved through TikTok’s subsequent combination of its Indonesian Shop business with Tokopedia rather than an immediate return to the previous operating model.
