Overview

• Indonesia’s communications ministry reactivated TikTok’s registration after receiving data on Live traffic escalation and monetisation for Aug 25–30.
• TikTok’s app and livestream features remained accessible throughout the brief suspension, which was announced on Oct 3.
• Officials sought information to trace accounts suspected of online gambling that profited from livestreams during late‑August protests.
• Prior to reinstatement, TikTok had submitted only partial data, citing internal policies that the ministry deemed non-compliant under licensing rules.
• Indonesia, a market with over 100 million TikTok accounts, has tightened oversight of big platforms, including a recent antitrust fine and earlier limits on e-commerce features.
