This empirical study aims to analyse available legal protection of consumers, and to identify the legal remedies to hold parties accountable. The results shows that both preventive and repressive legal protection is embedded in various legal instruments.

In seeking redress, consumers may pursue non-litigation mechanisms by lodging complaints to influencers, business actors, or relevant authorities such as Komdigi, BPOM, BPKN, BPSK, or LPKSM. If the non-litigation mechanism does not work out, consumers may pursue litigation mechanism by filing lawsuits in courts within their domicile]]>
