Abstract

The way society communicates has changed significantly as a result of advances in digital technology, particularly how ideas are expressed on social media. The rise in online defamation claims is one legal issue arising from the ease of access to information. The purpose of this essay is to examine the crime of defamation on social media from a legal perspective, using provisions from the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE) and the Criminal Code (KUHP). Using a normative approach, it is found that the two legal instruments differ significantly in terms of the elements of the crime and their sanctions. Furthermore, it remains difficult for law enforcement to distinguish between insults and freedom of expression in defamation cases, particularly those related to criticism of public figures. To curb such violations, this essay also emphasizes the importance of restorative justice strategies and improving digital literacy. Thus, in the digital age, it is crucial to strike a balance between safeguarding freedom of speech and preserving individual dignity.

Abstract

This study examines the legal protection of domestic workers (PRT) in Indonesia through the aspect of legal certainty. The study results indicate that legal protection for domestic workers remains very weak, due to the absence of specific regulations that explicitly regulate their status, rights, and obligations. Existing regulations, such as the Manpower Law, do not directly accommodate the needs of domestic workers because the long-initiated Domestic Worker Protection Bill has not yet been passed. This condition creates an uncertain legal position for domestic workers and makes them vulnerable to various forms of rights violations, exploitation, and violence. International comparisons show that Indonesia still lags behind in building a fair and inclusive protection system for domestic workers. Therefore, strategic steps are needed to develop comprehensive regulations and provide legal certainty to effectively protect the basic rights of domestic workers. This research is expected to contribute to the development of more just and sustainable legal policies for domestic workers in Indonesia.
