Description

Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs suspended TikTok’s electronic system provider registration certificate over failure to provide data

On 3 October 2025, Indonesia’s Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi) temporarily suspended TikTok's electronic system provider registration certificate for failing to provide requested data on live streaming, traffic, and monetisation, including activities linked to online gambling. TikTok only submitted partial data for 25–30 August 2025 and cited internal policies as the reason for refusing full disclosure. The action, under Article 21(1) of Ministerial Regulation No. 5 of 2020, obliges private electronic system providers to grant government access for supervision.
