Indonesia Requests Apple to Block Chinese Retailer Temu from App Store

The Indonesian government has requested Apple and Google to block access to the Chinese retailer Temu's app from their respective App Stores. The move is a preemptive measure aimed at protecting the country's small and medium-sized businesses from the low-priced inventory offered by Temu. Despite no recorded transactions through the app by Indonesian residents, the government wants to prevent Temu from potentially investing in local e-commerce ventures.
