Indonesia has banned goods transactions on social media platforms in a new regulation, its trade minister said Wednesday, as Jakarta aims to rein in direct sales on major platforms it says are harming millions of small businesses. Experts said the transaction ban would hit the coffers of social media platforms such as TikTok, which takes a commission from every sale.
