Indonesia halts TikTok registration citing missing streaming data, ministry says

Indonesia has suspended TikTok's registration to provide electronic systems after it failed to hand over all data relating to the use of its live stream feature, a government official said on Friday.
The suspension could theoretically prevent access to TikTok, which has more than 100 million accounts based in Indonesia.
TikTok temporarily suspended its live feature during the protests, saying this was intended to "keep TikTok a safe and civil space".
The company, owned by China's ByteDance, did not provide complete data, citing its internal procedures, Sabar said without giving further detail.
"So the communications and digital ministry deemed TikTok to have violated its obligations as a private electronic provider," and suspended its registration, he said.
