Short video app TikTok said it will stop transactions on its app in Indonesia from Wednesday after Southeast Asia's biggest economy banned direct sales on social media platforms last week to protect millions of small businesses.
The new regulation is yet another setback for TikTok, which has faced intense scrutiny in the United States and other nations in recent months over users' data security and the company's alleged ties to Beijing.
"Our priority is to remain compliant with local laws and regulations," TikTok Indonesia said in a statement on Tuesday.Calls have grown in recent months for a regulation governing social media and ecommerce, with offline sellers seeing their livelihoods threatened by the sale of cheaper products on TikTok Shop and other platforms.
While stressing it would respect local laws, TikTok Indonesia also criticised the ban by saying it would harm millions of Indonesian sellers who used the app.
