Overview

• TikTok’s status as an electronic system provider was suspended by the communications and digital ministry for failing to supply the full dataset requested on live‑stream use.
• Indonesia’s rules require registered platforms to provide data for government supervision or face the risk of being blocked.
• Despite the suspension, Reuters reporters could still access the app in Indonesia on Friday, leaving the timing and scope of any blocking uncertain.
• Officials requested traffic, streaming and monetisation records after protests in late August and September, saying some live‑stream accounts with ties to online gambling monetised protest coverage.
• TikTok supplied only partial information, citing internal procedures, and said it respects local laws and is working with the ministry; the platform counts more than 100 million accounts in Indonesia.
