Trends: Is This the End of Thrifting in Indonesia? – CNBC

The MSME Ministry has officially ordered all major e-commerce platforms including Shopee, Tokopedia, TikTok Shop, and Lazada to remove all illegally thrifted imported goods from their marketplaces.

● Kenapa Harus Peduli?

○ Not all thrifting is illegal, but a lot of imported secondhand clothes are banned.  Meaning that the real problem lies in illegal importation, not in people buying or selling pre-loved items. 

○ Is It A Good Move? Well, it violates national trade regulations. Imported secondhand clothing is banned due to health, hygiene, and safety concerns, not to mention, most of these items enter the country without proper customs checks or taxes.

○ Moving Ahead – You start to question whether this move actually supports fast fashion or not. If you’re a small business owner selling pre-loved items, you’re now caught in a situation where your business can get taken down, making both the seller and the buyer question where sustainability actually stands in this conversation.

Technology: What Apple’s New Updates Mean for Advertisers – PPC Land

Apple just tightened App Store age controls and data sharing rules, which means apps now need stricter age verification and clearer disclosure on how they use personal data.

• Kenapa Harus Peduli?
  • Audience Targeting Might Be Harder – Meaning that when it comes to targeting younger users, brand and agency performance could be affected because age-sensitive content now requires stricter verification inside App Store apps.

○ What About Data Privacy Rules? It might get less precise because apps give less user data, and costs could rise as agencies adapt to new compliance and targeting rules.

○ Moving Ahead –  Advertisers could focus on diversifying targeting, knowing that App Store data is now limited, and using different platforms can help maintain reach and performance.
