Abstract

Freedom of expression is a fundamental human right that plays an important role in ensuring public participation, information exchange, and the strengthening of democratic values. The development of digital technology has expanded the exercise of freedom of expression through various electronic platforms that enable individuals to convey opinions more quickly and broadly. However, digital transformation has also generated new legal challenges related to human rights protection, information governance, and the protection of digital rights. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of freedom of expression regulation from a human rights perspective and to examine the urgency of addressing this issue in the digital era. The research employs a normative juridical method using statutory, conceptual, and human rights approaches. The legal materials consist of Law Number 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights, Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions, and Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection, supported by scholarly literature published over the last five years. The findings indicate that these regulations provide a relatively adequate legal framework for protecting freedom of expression in digital spaces. Furthermore, the discussion remains increasingly urgent as technological developments continue to create new challenges requiring adaptive, proportional, and sustainable human rights protection.
