Abstract

This study examines the virality of the “Incest Fantasy” group on social media as a form of sexual deviance that is explicitly prohibited in both Islamic teachings and Indonesia’s positive law. The objective of this research is to analyze the case through the lens of media law and Islamic family law, highlighting the role of digital technology in normalizing deviant behavior and exposing the weakness of child protection systems. This research employs a normative qualitative approach with descriptive analysis, using secondary data and an interdisciplinary framework. The findings reveal that such deviant behavior constitutes a serious violation of family honor (ḥurmat al-usrah), the principle of lineage protection (ḥifẓ al-nasl), and moral values upheld by Indonesian legislation, such as the Child Protection Act and the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law). Moreover, this case demonstrates the lack of effective oversight by digital platforms regarding morally harmful content. Therefore, an integrated legal approach is urgently needed, complemented by educational, religious, and preventive strategies to protect children from the destructive influence of digital content and to restore the role of Islamic values in preserving family integrity.

Abstract

This study examines the legal frameworks of Indonesia and the Netherlands in addressing doxing as an emerging threat to press freedom and the protection of journalists’ personal data. Although Indonesia has established several legal instruments, including the Press Law No. 40/1999, the amended Electronic Information and Transactions Law No. 1/2024, and the Personal Data Protection Law No. 27/2022. The existing regulations remain implicit, fragmented, and insufficient in providing legal certainty. Interviews conducted with three journalists from diverse professional backgrounds reveal that legal protection remains predominantly passive, with inadequate law enforcement against actors who perpetrate digital intimidation and attacks on journalists. In contrast, the Netherlands has adopted a more comprehensive regulatory approach through its constitutional guarantee of freedom of expression, the direct implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the establishment of an independent data protection authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens), and the enactment of a specific anti-doxing law in 2024 that prescribes clear criminal sanctions. Additionally, the PersVeilig protocol demonstrates a more institutionalized mechanism for safeguarding journalists against threats in both physical and digital environments. Comparative analysis highlights the pressing need for Indonesia to strengthen legal protections for journalists through a more integrated model. This study recommends the development of explicit anti-doxing regulation, the establishment of an independent data protection authority, and the creation of cross-institutional collaboration protocols to ensure the safety of journalists and uphold press freedom in the digital democratic ecosystem.

Abstract

Developments in the digital era have changed the way people communicate, especially through social media. Nowadays, communication can be done freely, but this freedom is actually abused by many people to cause several problems, such as hoaxes, privacy violations, and even hate speech. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the role of Pancasila education in shaping civilized ethics in the digital era. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a literature study approach, namely analyzing and collecting data through various sources, such as journals, scientific articles, and books that are still relevant to the topic discussed. The results show that the values contained in Pancasila are very important to be used as digital ethics. This research also shows that digital literacy and the implementation of Pancasila values in communication ethics in Indonesia are low. In contrast, Finland has high digital literacy and their readiness to add ethical teachings into their curriculum since early childhood education. Solutions offered include the implementation of Pancasila values into the curriculum from an early age as well as campaigns or calls that emphasize the importance of polite communication and respect for everyone's privacy.

Abstract

Juvenile violence and bullying in Indonesia continue to rise despite the presence of a normative restorative framework under the Juvenile Criminal Justice System Act (UU SPPA) and educational regulations intended to prevent school-based violence. This study examines how preventive efforts can be strengthened through an integrated legal, psychological, and digital-media approach by comparing Indonesia’s system with Germany’s welfare-oriented model under the Jugendgerichtsgesetz (JGG) and Sozialgesetzbuch VIII (SGB VIII). Using a normative juridical method and comparative analysis, the research finds that Indonesia’s diversion practices remain largely procedural, lacking the professional facilitation, victim support, and psychological engagement necessary for genuine restorative outcomes. By contrast, Germany embeds offender victim mediation within a multidisciplinary welfare ecosystem, supported by structured emotional-literacy programs and digital-behavior education. The study also highlights the emerging role of social media in shaping youth behavior and public narratives about juvenile justice, offering both risks and opportunities for prevention. The findings suggest that Indonesia’s preventive strategies would benefit from professionalizing restorative facilitation, expanding psychological services, integrating digital-literacy and online-empathy curricula, and collaborating with social-media platforms to promote prosocial and restorative content. These measures would align Indonesia’s juvenile justice system with contemporary youth realities and reinforce long-term violence prevention.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital technologies has transformed the global investment landscape, prompting states to revisit the structure and objectives of Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs). Initially designed to protect tangible investments through guarantees such as fair and equitable treatment (FET), non-discrimination, and protection against expropriation, BITs now confront a new set of regulatory challenges associated with cross-border data flows, platform governance, and digital sovereignty. The rise of technology and media platforms-characterized by their intangible, mobile, and data-driven nature-raises fundamental questions regarding the definition of “investment,” the scope of investor rights, and the extent of state regulatory space. This article examines the evolution of BITs in the digital era using a normative juridical method, focusing on how international investment law interacts with technology and media regulation. Through analysis of key jurisprudence, particularly Yahoo! Inc. v. LICRA and UEJF and the Schrems I & II decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), the study demonstrates that the digital ecosystem demands more adaptive treaty frameworks capable of balancing investor protection with legitimate regulatory objectives such as privacy, cybersecurity, and content governance. The article also evaluates Indonesia’s regulatory landscape, including the Information and Electronic Transactions Law (UU ITE) and the Personal Data Protection Law (UU PDP), to illustrate national perspectives on digital governance within the broader BIT reform movement. Ultimately, this research argues that BITs must incorporate explicit digital-era provisions-such as data governance carve-outs, cybersecurity exceptions, and right-to-regulate clauses-to safeguard state sovereignty and public interests while maintaining a predictable investment environment.
