<![CDATA[The phenomenon of cyberbullying in Indonesia has intensified with the acceleration of digitalization, posing substantial threats to personal dignity and social stability in the virtual sphere. The enactment of Law Number 1 of 2024 amending Law Number 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions introduces Article 27A as a pivotal normative instrument specifically designed to address acts of cyberbullying. This article examines the relevance and effectiveness of Article 27A in combating cyberbullying, with particular emphasis on its normative scope, evidentiary challenges, and alignment with constitutional principles of human rights protection. Employing a normative legal research method with statutory, conceptual, and case-based approaches, this study finds that Article 27A represents a significant legislative advancement in the Indonesian legal framework by providing a dedicated legal basis for prosecuting cyberbullying conduct.
