Indonesia has reinstated TikTok’s operating license after the Chinese-owned social media platform complied with a government request for data related to its live streaming activity during deadly protests in late August.

The country’s Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs had suspended TikTok’s license on Friday, citing a failure to meet data-sharing obligations as a private electronic system operator. Officials said TikTok initially refused to provide complete user activity data from August 25–30, when nationwide protests erupted over lawmakers’ privileges and police brutality, leaving 10 people dead.

According to the ministry, TikTok had earlier said its internal policies prevented full compliance with the request. The suspension sparked public concern about free speech protections under President Prabowo Subianto, a former general criticized for his role during Indonesia’s dictatorship era.

Alexander Sabar, the ministry’s Director General of Digital Space Supervision, said the government sought the data to identify accounts linked to online gambling that monetized TikTok’s live streaming feature during the unrest. “TikTok has now submitted data related to traffic escalation and monetization activity of its Live during the requested period,” he said Saturday.

Following TikTok’s cooperation, the government lifted the temporary suspension and reactivated its registration as an electronic system provider.

Despite the suspension, TikTok remained accessible in Indonesia throughout Friday. The company said it respects the laws and regulations of countries where it operates and was working with the government “to resolve this issue constructively.”
