- Abstract
TikTok is a social media platform that offers a variety of video content for its users to enjoy. This video content serves as the foundation for business owners to create or present advertisements that they wish to disseminate. TikTok expanded the business industry through TikTok Shop to be an online shopping platform with a live shopping feature that succeeded in capturing the hearts of many users, even tempting them to abandon their former marketplace. However, this did not last long because, in the same year, the Government of Indonesia closed TikTok Shop because it was deemed to have breached Minister of Trade Regulation No. 31 of 2023, which governs business licensing, advertising, development, and supervision of business owners in trading through electronic systems, which came into effect on September 26, 2023. This research examines the controversies surrounding government policies that affect micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia. Data was acquired using a qualitative approach, including observation and in-depth interviews. The informants include MSMEs who sell through TikTok Shop and marketing communications specialists. The research’s findings reveal that MSMEs were significantly impacted by government policy when closing TikTok Shop, necessitating their ability to adapt and transfer to other platforms, even if TikTok Shop eventually resumed operations in collaboration with Tokopedia. TikTok chose Tokopedia as a partner because they share the same vision and objective for supporting MSMEs and local businesses in Indonesia. This collaboration is expected to revitalize declining economic transactions and benefit MSMEs.
