<![CDATA[This study examines commercial sexual exploitation on social media from an Indonesian criminal law perspective. It evaluates regulatory limitations, enforcement practices, and the responsibilities of public authorities and digital platforms. Using normative legal research supported by a socio-legal approach, the study analyzes legislation, judicial decisions, and secondary literature. The findings indicate that criminal law enforcement often emphasizes the circulation of indecent electronic content rather than the exploitative relationships affecting victims. Digital anonymity, evidentiary difficulties, fragmented institutional coordination, and unequal economic power further complicate effective protection. The article argues for harmonizing criminal legislation, strengthening electronic evidence capabilities, improving victim recovery mechanisms, and developing proportionate platform accountability. An integrated preventive and punitive response is essential to address exploitation within contemporary digital environments while protecting fundamental rights]]>
