Abstract

Existing studies on Indonesia’s blasphemy law have primarily focused on its constitutional foundations and judicial interpretation, particularly through analyses of decisions by the Constitutional Court. This tudy examines the intricate dynamics of blasphemy laws in Indonesia, with a particular focus on their implications in the digital era. Building on this body of work, including Melisa Crouch’s influential study on law and religion in Indonesia, this article shifts attention to the practical criminalization of blasphemy in the context of social media. While these laws aim to protect religion and religious values, they often result in the criminalization of certain expressions, particularly in virtual spaces. This research scrutinizes the intersection between blasphemy laws and the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, highlighting the tensions between freedom of expression, the right to practice religion and belief, and the role of technology in modern legal frameworks. The primary analysis adopts a critical criminological perspective, suggesting that those in power can legislate and criminalize anyone. This study examines the impact of public perceptions on legal processes in blasphemy cases. Data collection techniques include searching and sorting related news articles and legal text documents. Thematic analysis is employed to uncover patterns and dynamics of power embedded in the narratives. The findings indicate how these legal tools exacerbate societal divisions and contribute to the escalation of inter-religious tensions, especially in the context of online content, reflecting broader sociopolitical dynamics and moral judgments. The research results underscore the need for a more nuanced  understanding of blasphemy law and a critical re-evaluation of its application, taking into account both legal and philosophical perspectives. The media plays an important role in shaping narratives and influencing judicial outcomes, emphasizing the intersection of law, media, and society in the context of blasphemy allegations.

Abstract

Amendments to the law, as a manifestation of legal politics designed to promote public contentment is inevitable. The theory of law stipulates the significance of developments that are deemed highly necessary. Problems arose when the government of Indonesia's agenda to amend Law Number 40 of 1999 concerning the press raised concerns about the threat of oppression in the media. This study aims to determine the urgency of amending the Press Law to realize press freedom in Indonesia.  This study used a qualitative method through literature studies and interviews with practitioners. The results of this study showed that Law Number 40 of 1999 concerning the Press is a legitimate tool for press freedom at this time. It can be stated that the substance of Law No. 40 of 1999 regarding the Press is still relatively accommodating democracy in terms of ensuring freedom of opinion as human rights. However, the dominance of the media company as the capital owner will limit press freedom, necessitating a structure that can finally separate the company from the press product. In the end, the success of Law Number 40 of 1999 pertaining to the Press must be evaluated based on institutions, enforcement, and the legal culture of the society.
