TikTok in process of obtaining Indonesia e-commerce permit, says state media, citing minister

SHORT video app TikTok is in the process of obtaining an e-commerce permit from Indonesia’s government, state news agency Antara reported, citing the deputy trade minister.

In September, Indonesia banned e-commerce transactions on social media, a major blow for TikTok, which had pledged to invest billions of dollars in South-east Asia, including Indonesia, the region’s biggest economy. REUTERS
