Indonesia is an important country for video sharing services, Tik Tok. No wonder the TikTok management team rushed from China to Indonesia, a day after the government blocked it.
"In Indonesia we have 10 million monthly active users," said SVP Bytedance, Zhen Liu, post meeting with Minister of Communication and Information Technology (Menkominfo), Rudiantara, at Kominfo office, Medan Merdeka, Jakarta, Wednesday (4/7/2018) .
Bytedance is the parent company of TikTok which also houses Musical.ly and several other video platforms.
The Chinese company also invested in news aggregator service from Indonesia, BABE
Zhen Liu indicated that the TikTok community base in Indonesia is growing positively, although its own service has been popular in recent months.
Therefore, he and his team are committed to obeying government rules in order to continue operating.
"We want to be even better in providing services that inspire people to be creative. We will comply with the rules applicable in Indonesia, "he said.
The requirements of the government, among others, TikTok should clean up the negative content and guarantee no more similar content in the future.
"We also require the age limit of TikTok users to be upgraded, not 12 years. If there can also be a special team that oversees the content in Indonesia and there is something we can contact when there is a problem, "said Rudiantara, on the same occasion.
