Indonesia has banned TikTok Shop in an attempt to bring consumers back to physical stores that have been negatively impacted by the rise of social commerce. However, experts are concerned that this policy could harm thousands of small businesses in the country. The government accuses TikTok Shop of monopolistic practices and predatory pricing, affecting over 6 million sellers and 7 million creators. While some fear job losses, others support the ban. This move is part of Indonesia's broader plan to curb sales directly through apps like TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram, which they believe have hurt brick-and-mortar businesses. Meanwhile, in the US, efforts to ban TikTok have stalled as defense officials clash with economic officials who support a compromise. Montana has also banned TikTok, but the company will try to block this ban in court.
