Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning the Second Amendment to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions (UU ITE) aims to strengthen regulations against cybercrime in Indonesia. However, despite the revision, the ITE Law still faces various limitations in legal scope, enforcement mechanisms, and protection of victims. This study analyzes the challenges in implementing the ITE Law, including inconsistent regulations with technological developments, limited law enforcement resources, and lack of coordination between authorized agencies in handling cybercrime. In addition, obstacles in obtaining electronic evidence and the potential for misuse of regulations limiting freedom of expression are also issues that need attention. Therefore, more comprehensive legal reforms are needed, as increased capacity of law enforcement officers and transparency in the preparation of cybersecurity policies to balance the protection of digital security and respect for human rights in cyberspace.
