The Minister of Cooperatives and SMEs stated that TikTok Shop still violates the provisions of the new E-Commerce Law. The ministry has clearly conducted technical coordination among various ministries, but TikTok continues to violate the relevant provisions of the new E-Commerce Law. However, regarding follow-up actions, he is still waiting for coordination with the Minister of Trade. According to the law, social media and e-commerce should be separated. Although TikTok has invested in Tokopedia, TikTok still violates the legal provisions. The government has no issue with TikTok's investment in Tokopedia; the problem is that TikTok actually still uses the TikTok Shop model integrated with social media.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Business Competition Supervisory Commission stated that the agency will supervise and coordinate with the Ministry of Trade to maintain investment, partnership commitments, and protect micro, small, and medium enterprises. They hope that relevant enterprises remain consistent and committed. If they focus on social media, they should only develop on social media and not venture into e-commerce. Do not let Tokopedia abandon its obligations. There is no problem with investing in Tokopedia, but whether TikTok truly acts consistently when fulfilling its social media platform functions.
