<![CDATA[This research investigates the critical crossroads in Indonesia's counter-terrorism strategy, where success in suppressing terrorist attacks coincides with the expansion of a dual surveillance apparatus in the digital era. Employing a qualitative approach with juridical normative analysis and the Actor-Network Theory (ANT) framework, this study examines the strategic and legal dimensions of wiretapping. Findings indicate that the formal legal framework, particularly Law No. 5 of 2018, provides a basis for effective proactive interception but contains ambiguities that grant broad discretionary power. Crucially, the research uncovers a parallel, unregulated surveillance regime involving invasive spyware procurement and extra legal agreements that bypass judicial oversight, thereby threatening civil liberties.
