Abstract

This article discusses the responsibility of social media platform providers, such as Facebook, in managing and protecting usernames created by users, which are a crucial component of digital identity. With the increasing use of social media globally, misuse of usernames, such as identity theft or account impersonation, poses significant risks to users' reputation and privacy. This research highlights the importance of username protection as part of broader personal data protection, emphasizing the need for platforms to implement effective policies to prevent abuse. Regulations such as Indonesia's Personal Data Protection Law (UU PDP) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union are examined to understand how platforms are required to protect user data, including usernames. The study uses a qualitative approach with literature review and policy analysis methods to analyze existing regulations, as well as interviews with data security experts to explore the challenges faced by platform providers in protecting user identities. The findings indicate that while existing policies and technologies are reasonably adequate, there are still many gaps that can be exploited for identity abuse. Therefore, the research proposes several strategies for social media platform providers to strengthen username protection, including enhancing verification systems, introducing advanced security technologies, and improving abuse reporting systems. These findings are expected to contribute to the ongoing conversation about data privacy and security in the digital age, as well as provide recommendations to protect users' digital identities on social media platforms.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of law enforcement and identify obstacles in investigating document forgery cases at the Gorontalo Police Resort. The research method used is juridical-empirical with a qualitative approach, combining literature study on regulations and empirical data through interviews and case documentation. The results show that the effectiveness of law enforcement is still not optimal, reflected in the low case resolution rate compared to the number of incoming reports. The main obstacles include the limited number and competence of investigators, lack of forensic laboratory facilities, and high administrative burdens. Additionally, external factors such as low public legal awareness, witness reluctance, and poor coordination among law enforcement agencies slow down the investigation process. Improvement efforts focus on enhancing human resource capacity, strengthening coordination, legal education for the public, and utilizing technology in the investigation process. This study recommends the need for cross-sector synergy and strengthening monitoring systems to improve the effectiveness of law enforcement against document forgery crimes at the local level.

Abstract

This study discusses the effectiveness of the implementation of restitution rights for children who are victims of domestic violence (DV) in Indonesia within the framework of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Restitution, as a form of victim's rights recovery, is explicitly regulated in various national laws and regulations, yet its implementation still faces significant challenges on the ground. The research method used is normative juridical with a qualitative descriptive approach, through analysis of regulations, legal doctrines, and case studies of court rulings. The results of the study indicate that restitution plays a vital role in the physical, psychological, and social recovery of children who are victims of DV, while also emphasizing the responsibility of perpetrators for their actions. However, the implementation of restitution rights is still hindered by a lack of understanding among law enforcement officials, bureaucratic complexities, insufficient victim support, and obstacles faced by perpetrators in fulfilling their payment obligations. To address these issues, strengthening regulations, improving the capacity of officials, optimizing the role of child protection institutions, and fostering cross-sector collaboration are necessary to ensure that restitution rights become an integral part of the protection and recovery of child victims of DV in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the fulfillment of voting rights for persons with disabilities by the General Elections Commission (KPU) of Gorontalo City in the 2024 Election from the perspective of constitutional law and human rights. Although Indonesia has a strong legal basis through the 1945 Constitution, the Election Law, the Law on Persons with Disabilities, and the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), field practices show that significant gaps remain. Empirical data shows that voter participation by persons with disabilities only reached 59.71% of the total 834 registered voters, indicating structural and non-structural barriers that hinder the full realization of people's sovereignty. These barriers include limited physical access at polling stations (TPS), lack of supporting facilities such as braille ballot templates and sign language interpreters, information and communication barriers, low officer capacity, and social stigma. This study uses descriptive qualitative methods with interview, observation, and documentation study techniques to obtain a factual picture and identify the factors causing low participation. The research findings demonstrate the need for policy and technical reforms in election administration, increased human resource capacity, strengthened collaboration with organizations for people with disabilities, and adequate budget allocation for accessible facilities. Optimal implementation will ensure respect for the principles of inclusivity, equality before the law, and non-discrimination, while strengthening the legitimacy and quality of Indonesian democracy.
The Contest of Judicial Rationality: An Examination of Judges' Considerations in PTUN Cases No. 21/G/2022/PTUN.GTO and 19/B/2023/PT.TUN.MDO Bahutala, Andris E.; Wantu, Fence M.; Ahmad, Ahmad

Abstract

This study examines the contestation of judicial rationality in the resolution of civil servant (ASN) disciplinary disputes at two levels of administrative court, namely the Gorontalo Administrative Court (PTUN Gorontalo) and the Manado Administrative Court (PT.TUN Manado), focusing on cases No. 21/G/2022/PTUN.GTO and No. 19/B/2023/PT.TUN.MDO. Using a juridical-normative approach and case analysis, the study highlights the fundamental differences in the reasoning of first-instance judges, who emphasize adherence to formal procedures and the protection of individual ASN rights, compared to the approach of appellate judges, who prioritize substantive justice, public utility, and proportionality of sanctions to maintain bureaucratic integrity. The findings indicate that judicial interpretation of administrative law is strongly influenced by the concrete context of the case, the judges' backgrounds, and their orientation towards justice, leading to disparities in decisions that result in legal uncertainty and inadequate protection for ASNs. The study concludes that standardizing judicial reasoning through technical guidelines that integrate procedural and substantive justice principles is necessary, alongside strengthening the training and mentoring of judges to ensure consistent, fair decisions that are focused on improving bureaucratic governance. Recommendations are made to promote the establishment of a national database of ASN disciplinary decisions, cross-agency collaboration, and regular regulatory evaluations to make the administrative justice system more accountable and responsive to individual rights and public interests.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the positive legal void in responding to the practice of child cohabitation in Indonesia and analyze the role of the patriarchal system in worsening the weak protection of children, especially girls. Using a juridical-normative method with a qualitative approach, this study examines national laws and regulations, international conventions, and critical legal literature to uncover structural inequalities in regulations. The results of the analysis show that child cohabitation is a form of covert sexual exploitation that has been allowed to take place in the social space without legal certainty due to legal-formalistic views and the dominance of patriarchal cultural norms. The state has failed to carry out its constitutional mandate in guaranteeing children's rights to protection, health, education, and self-development. Therefore, progressive legal reform, based on gender justice and based on the principles  of the best interest of the child and maqasid al-shariah is needed as an urgent step to ensure comprehensive and transformative legal protection for Indonesian children.

Abstract

This study examines the legal construction of zakat transactions conducted via e-commerce platforms in Indonesia, focusing on the regulation of digital zakat management, as well as its implications on sharia compliance and legal certainty. Although zakat management is governed by Law No. 23 of 2011, the use of e-commerce platforms for zakat collection still faces a significant regulatory gap, creating serious uncertainty for all parties involved. From a sharia perspective, this study highlights the challenges in fulfilling the pillars and conditions of zakat such as intention (qasad), ownership transfer (tamlik), and accurate verification of mustahiq (eligible recipients), which are vulnerable to disruption by digital mechanisms. The research employs a normative legal methodology with literature review and case analysis to formulate a legal construction integrating positive law principles and sharia provisions. The findings indicate an urgent need for updated regulations that are adaptable to technology, emphasizing transparent governance mechanisms, accountability, and digital consumer protection. A comprehensive legal framework is expected to provide legal certainty and sharia legitimacy, promoting the optimization of zakat potential through digital technology as an instrument for poverty alleviation and empowerment of the Muslim community in the modern era.

Abstract

The phenomenon of informal marriages in various regions of Indonesia, including Mananggu District in Boalemo Regency, continues to persist despite legal regulations that mandate marriage registration, as stipulated in Law No. 1 of 1974 in conjunction with Law No. 16 of 2019 concerning Marriage. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the prevalence of unregistered marriages and examine the social and legal impacts from the perspective of legal sociology. The research method employed is an empirical legal approach with field studies, including in-depth interviews with community leaders, religious affairs office staff, couples involved in informal marriages, and secondary data analysis from regulations, legal literature, and previous research findings. The study finds that several key factors contribute to the high rate of informal marriages, including social factors (out-of-wedlock pregnancies, customary pressures, and religious legitimacy), cultural factors (the belief that a marriage is legitimate based on Islamic law without state registration), economic factors (administrative costs and access to transportation to the religious affairs office), and administrative factors (complexity of document processing). The impacts are significant, both legally and socially. Legally, the wife and children lose legal protection for basic rights such as maintenance, inheritance, and civil status. Socially, negative stigma, vulnerability to discrimination, and barriers to accessing education and public services arise. In conclusion, informal marriages present a multidimensional problem that requires legal, administrative, and social solutions to ensure the protection of citizens' rights.

Abstract

This study discusses the role of the police in handling criminal acts of theft committed by minors, with a focus on the implementation of diversion as an alternative dispute resolution in accordance with the mandate of Law No. 11 of 2012 on the Juvenile Criminal Justice System. The research employs a juridical-empirical method with a qualitative descriptive approach, using literature study, interviews with law enforcement officers, and field data analysis. The findings of the study reveal several key points: first, the police play a strategic role as the initial gatekeepers in determining the course of cases; however, they are still constrained by a lack of competent juvenile investigators, specialized detention facilities, and limited support from psychologists or social workers. Second, the implementation of diversion in juvenile theft cases has not been optimal, due to resistance from victims or their families who perceive justice can only be achieved through formal criminal prosecution. Third, the legal culture that remains retributive, the lack of understanding among law enforcement officers and the public regarding restorative justice, and the weak coordination between institutions (police, prosecutors, judges, and social institutions) lead to many juvenile cases continuing to court, even though they meet the criteria for diversion. Nevertheless, the research also finds that successful diversion can have a significant positive impact: children are spared from criminal stigma, victims receive recovery, and social order is restored to harmony. Therefore, comprehensive reform is needed through capacity building for law enforcement, strengthening supporting facilities, and public education, so that the implementation of diversion truly becomes an instrument of justice that protects the future of children.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of menstrual leave rights for female workers in Gorontalo City based on Law No. 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower, focusing on the sociocultural challenges and reproductive health impacts affecting the fulfillment of this right. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach through observations, interviews, and document analysis of cross-sector companies. The results show a significant gap between the normative provisions outlined in the legislation and the practices on the ground, where menstrual stigma, low socialization, and limited legal understanding among workers and management are major barriers. Additionally, the lack of a supportive work environment and complex administrative mechanisms further hinder women’s access to menstrual leave rights. Some companies view menstrual leave as an additional operational burden and often overlook the substance of female reproductive health protection. Therefore, breakthroughs are needed in the form of continuous education, harmonization of leave application procedures, and more intensive monitoring and law enforcement to ensure optimal implementation of menstrual leave rights. Thus, it is expected to create a more inclusive, fair, and competitive work environment, strengthening the role of women in sustainable regional economic development.
