In response to demonstrations in Indonesia, ByteDance’s TikTok disabled its live function for the “next few days” in the nation, a spokeswoman said in a statement on Saturday. We are implementing extra security steps to maintain TikTok as a safe and peaceful platform in response to the rising violence in Indonesian protests. We are voluntarily stopping the TikTok LIVE function in Indonesia for the next several days as part of this effort,” the company stated.
According to local media, demonstrators burned regional parliament buildings in three provinces on Saturday: Cirebon in West Java, Pekalongan in Central Java, and West Nusa Tenggara. Following Friday’s unrest in Makassar, South Sulawesi, when demonstrations resulted in at least three fatalities and five injuries, there were arson attacks.
Although it could not be confirmed, local media site metrotvnews.com claimed another death connected to the fire at Makassar’s parliament building. According to Indonesia’s disaster agency, two persons were hurt after jumping out of the building to escape, while other victims were trapped inside. In a video message released on Saturday, presidential spokeswoman Prasetyo Hadi announced that Prabowo Subianto had canceled his scheduled trip to Beijing because to the disturbance.
