President Jokowi said that the regulation being drafted will regulate between social media and trading or economic platforms.Â
Previously, President Jokowi also said that business on the TikTok platform has reduced the sales of many small, micro-business owners and market traders. This is because the price of products sold on E-Commerce is much cheaper.Â
According to the President, TikTok is only used as a social media for the community. Not as an economic medium.Â
"It (TikTok) should be a social media, not an economic media," the President said.Â
