About 200 employees have accepted compensation packages from TikTok to leave the tech firm as part of a corporate restructuring.
Deputy House of Representatives Speaker Sufmi Dasco Ahmad pushed back against reports of mass layoffs at the company after claims circulated online that TikTok had eliminated 90 percent of Tokopedia's workforce, fueling concerns over the future of the e-commerce platform.
