Abstract

Blockchain technology has brought significant transformations across various industrial sectors due to its transparent, secure, and efficient characteristics. However, its decentralized, transparent, and immutable nature poses legal challenges, particularly concerning personal data protection and ethical use. In Indonesia, the Personal Data Protection Law (UU PDP) and the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE) serve as the primary legal frameworks regulating personal data protection. One major issue is the potential conflict between the permanent nature of blockchain and the right to data erasure as stipulated in the UU PDP. Additionally, ethical challenges such as privacy violations, unequal access to technology, and environmental impacts are critical issues that need to be addressed. Dispute resolution in blockchain transactions also faces unique complexities due to blockchain's immutable nature, requiring innovative approaches such as blockchain-based arbitration and smart contract arrangements. Therefore, a specific legal framework and mechanisms are needed to support the safe and responsible development of blockchain while respecting legal principles, ethics, and data protection. Collaboration among governments, businesses, and technology developers is essential to ensure that blockchain can be implemented inclusively and sustainably.

Abstract

This study examines legal protection for victims of motorcycle imbezzlement and a critical analysis of the judge's considerations in Decision Number 858/Pid.B/2025/PN.LBP using a normative juridical method with statutory, case, and conceptual approaches. Defendant Muklis Pranoto was proven to have embezzled the victim's motorcycle by pawning it for Rp. 500,000 from a value of Rp. 7,000,000 for online gambling, and was sentenced to 2 years in prison under Article 372 of the old Criminal Code (Article 486 of the National Criminal Code). The judge's selection of Article 372 was dogmatically correct, as criminal intent arose only after legal possession of the vehicle, rendering Article 378 inapplicable. However, serious gaps in victim protection were identified: the prosecutor did not seek restitution, the seeking mechanism (Articles 98–101 of the Criminal Procedure Code) was not pursued, and the judge did not order residual restitution of Rp. 6,500,000. Restorative justice evaluation reveals the verdict only partially fulfills restorative elements, lacking formal dialogue, full restitution, and LPSK involvement. Systemic reform in the implementation of Law No. 31 of 2014 and Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 2022 is urgently needed.
