TikTok Strikes Back in Indonesia

The Indonesian government executed its crackdown on “social shopping” in the name of protecting local small businesses.

It also sends a shot across the bow of regulators in other countries that might be contemplating similar moves.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
