Indonesia restores TikTok licence after sharing data from protest period

The demonstrations in Indonesia were triggered by public anger over lawmakers’ privileges and police violence. The protests led to ten casualties. TikTok decided to temporarily disable its live streaming feature on August 30 to contribute to maintaining safety and order. The platform resumed its operations after discussions with the government and complying with regulations. Authorities reinstated TikTok’s licence after the company cooperated by sharing data related to the protest period, showing its commitment to transparency and accountability. The restoration of TikTok’s licence reflects the importance of companies working closely with authorities to address critical issues in the country.
