JAKARTA - The circulation of defense of Tiktok Shop will be separated into separate applications by the government, received by the Executive Director of the ICT Institute, Heru Sutadi. According to Heru, the influencers and sellers who today carried out massive defense of TikTok Shop on various social media channels should support government policy measures.

"Tiktok does not need to advocate for regulations, because each country has its own rules. They as guests must respect the rules, influencers, celebrities must also support these rules, because this is in favor of Indonesia, Indonesian MSMEs," Heru said when confirmed, Tuesday, September 26.

Because the regulation on the revision of Permendag Number 50 of 2020 concerning Provisions for Business Licensing, Advertising, Development and Supervision of Business Actors in Trade Through Electronic Systems will be signed in the near future, this is precisely the middle point. Heru emphasized that the government's attitude in this case President Jokowi was very firm. That there must be a separation of functions between social media and e-commerce.

"And, there is partiality to how to develop and market Indonesian products so as to encourage the advancement of MSMEs. I think TikTok should be more wise, don't bring the name of the president in this advocacy, it is clear what the president revealed about the separation of social media and e-commerce, how we must save MSMEs together," said Heru.

It was later discovered that starting today netizens with various accounts, issued calls to create content with the hashtag #KamiUMKMdiTikTok. The call is known to be spread through whatsapp. The message, after the government policy that prohibits social commerce, immediately transacts like e-commerce

The following is the message that was received:
