The Ministry of Communication and Digital Technologies of the Republic of Indonesia (Komdigi) has officially lifted the temporary suspension of the Electronic System Operator Registration Certificate (TDPSE) of TikTok Pte. Ltd.
– the publication reported.
It should be explained that the suspension of TikTok's license in Indonesia occurred "due to the platform's initial refusal to comply with a data request, citing internal policy."
Indonesia is a significant market for TikTok, with approximately 150 million users. Therefore, it is not surprising that in the context of recent protests in the country, the issue of video sharing and live broadcasts on the popular network was an obviously complex element, to which the government reacted harshly.
But today, the conflict has been smoothed over. It is officially stated that "TikTok provided the requested data on the escalation of traffic and TikTok Live monetization activities for the period from August 25 to August 30, 2025, in an official letter dated October 3, 2025."
