<![CDATA[Freedom of expression is a fundamental human right that plays an important role in ensuring public participation in democratic life. The development of information technology has expanded the exercise of freedom of expression through various digital platforms, while simultaneously creating new challenges that require adequate legal regulation. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of freedom of expression regulation in the digital era under Law Number 11 of 2008, to examine the urgency of developing regulations governing this right. The research employs a normative juridical method using statutory and conceptual approaches. The legal materials consist of legislation, scholarly literature, and relevant academic publications. The findings indicate that both national and international legal instruments have supported the protection of freedom of expression. However, the effectiveness of existing regulations remains influenced by the clarity of legal norms, consistency in law enforcement, and conformity with human rights principles. Furthermore, the rapid advancement of digital technology highlights the necessity of continuously reviewing and developing legal regulations to maintain a balance between the protection of individual rights, legal certainty, and public interests. Therefore, strengthening adaptive and human rights-oriented regulations is essential to ensure sustainable protection of freedom of expression in the digital era.]]>
