• Initial action: Indonesia suspended TikTok's registration as an electronic system provider after the company failed to hand over all data on its live-stream feature used during August protests.
• Context: Protests over lawmakers' allowances and police brutality prompted TikTok to pause its live feature; officials cited accounts tied to online gambling monetising the feed.
• Progression: By submitting data and addressing government requests, authorities then revoked the suspension and eventually reinstated TikTok's status to operate in Indonesia.

Indonesia said it had suspended TikTok’s registration after the company failed to provide all data relating to the use of its live stream feature, with officials noting some accounts tied to online gambling used the feature during recent protests and monetised it. TikTok had temporarily suspended its live feature during the protests, stating this was to “keep TikTok a safe and civil space.” The government pressed for traffic, streaming and monetisation data, but the company provided only partial data, according to the reporting. These events followed protests that roiled the world’s third-largest democracy over lawmakers’ allowances and police brutality from late August to September.

The ministry later outlined that it had asked TikTok for traffic, streaming and monetisation data and that the company did not provide complete data, citing its internal procedures. Protests continued to be a backdrop for these regulatory steps, with TikTok explaining it was working to resolve the issue with Indonesian authorities. After the platform provided data covering August 25–30—specifically Live traffic escalation and monetisation activity—the government signalled a shift in stance.
“As the obligations are met, the ministry ends the license suspension,” according to the scmp report, with corroborating detail from channelnewsasia and thejakartapost coverage.

Following those developments, CNA reported that Indonesia lifted the suspension after the app shared the requested data; the ministry stated it reactivated TikTok’s status as a registered electronic system operator as the obligations were fulfilled. TRTGlobal later echoed that sentiment, noting the suspension was lifted after the platform met government requests tied to protests. The Jakarta Post confirmed the reactivation and ongoing monitoring of private electronic system providers.
