 Interesting move: Indonesia bans e-commerce sales on social media platforms like TikTok.

"“Social commerce can place ads like TV, but it mustn’t be transactional. [They] can’t open shop, can’t directly sell,” Hasan said, without mentioning TikTok by name.

Companies that did not comply could eventually have their licences to do business in Indonesia revoked."
