JAKARTA (Bloomberg): TikTok said it is working with Indonesian authorities to resolve a dispute that led to the suspension of its local operating license, after the company declined to fully share data on its live streaming activity during nationwide protests in August.

"At TikTok, we respect the laws and regulations of the markets we operate in,” the company said in a statement late Friday. "We are working closely with the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs to address this matter constructively, while remaining committed to safeguarding user privacy and ensuring that our platform provides a safe and responsible experience for the community in Indonesia.”
