Abstract

The development of globalization and digital technology has spurred the evolution of selling practices in modern retail and e-commerce, which, lacking information transparency, can harm consumers via dark patterns. This study aims to analyze the role and responsibilities of the National Consumer Protection Agency (BPKN) in addressing upselling in Indonesia and compare its enforcement with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the United States. The methodology employed is normative juridical, complemented by primary empirical data from interviews with BPKN and YLKI, using a comparative approach. Findings indicate that BPKN is passive and reactive, limited to a recommendatory function, which hinders optimal consumer protection. In sharp contrast, the FTC adopts a conduct-based model with strict investigative and punitive authority, imposing substantial sanctions to combat deceptive digital practices. The low transparency in Indonesia is attributed to the general regulatory framework (UUPK) and BPKN's institutional limitations. This study concludes that strengthening technical regulations, promoting proactive monitoring, and increasing BPKN's authority are essential for creating more adaptive and effective consumer protection.

Abstract

As legal subjects, corporations in Indonesia not only have economic obligations but also have a responsibility to support sustainable development. This paper examines corporate legal liability for violations of compliance with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles that result in environmental damage. The purpose of this research is to analyze the role of ESG implementation in strengthening corporate legal compliance and governance, as well as to review corporate accountability mechanisms through a case study of PT Soedali Sejahtera, which polluted the Getih River in Surabaya due to the absence of UKL-UPL environmental documents. The research employs a normative juridical method by examining regulations such as Law No. 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management (UUPPLH), Government Regulation No. 47 of 2012 concerning Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL), and Financial Services Authority Regulation No. 51/POJK.03/2017 as a framework for sustainable finance. The results show that the integration of ESG principles strengthens transparency, accountability, and corporate legal compliance, where the integration of ESG can serve as a strategic instrument in realizing sustainable and responsible business practices.

Abstract

Crypto is digital money created through mining or issued by authorities, utilizing cryptography and blockchain for security. This study aims to analyze the legal protection framework for investors regarding the risks of cryptocurrency transactions, as well as the liability of service provider platforms, through a comparison between Indonesia and Singapore. The research method employed is a normative legal analysis using a statutory approach, a case-law approach, and a comparative approach. This study represents a novel contribution because no previous research has compared the concepts of investor protection and platform liability. Data sources include primary legal materials such as Law No. 4 of 2023 on the Development and Strengthening of the Financial Sector, Law No. 8 of 1995 on the Capital Market, regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Supervisory Agency, regulations of the Financial Services Authority, as well as Singaporean regulations such as the Payment Services Act 2019 and the Securities and Futures Act. The research findings indicate that Indonesia recognizes crypto assets as commodities, with oversight now transferred to the Financial Services Authority, and provides protection through Know Your Customer, Anti-Money Laundering, risk disclosure, and the Financial Sector Alternative Dispute Resolution Institution. However, there is no automatic compensation mechanism in place. Singapore has more comprehensive and proactive regulations to protect investors.

Abstract

Despite the constitutional mandate of the Indonesian state of law and the strict requirement for bank secrecy under Law No. 10 of 1998, a significant legal paradox has emerged as highlighted by the Surabaya District Court Decision Number 615/Pdt.G/2023/PN Sby, where banking personnel leaked sensitive customer information—including names, addresses, and customer information file (CIF) numbers—into a public messaging group. This institutional failure reveals a critical disregard for the principle of prudence and exposes a substantial legal vacuum concerning the formulation of comprehensive civil liability for banking institutions to restore the material and immaterial losses suffered by victims of personal data breaches. This study uses a normative legal research method that focuses on the study of legal documents to find the truth of the coherence between legal norms and the legal reality related to personal data protection. The results of the study indicate the need for new legal formulations through changements to the Banking Law that include a special civil law regime to bridge the gap between substantive law and conventional formal law. In addition, it was found that there is an urgent need to strengthen the judicial and evidentiary processes through amendments to the Banking Law for banking institutions regarding data leaks committed by internal employees in order to provide fair compensation for customers and the continuity of banking law in Indonesia.
