Abstract

The rapid proliferation of misinformation across digital platforms has emerged as a critical challenge, undermining public trust, shaping opinion, and eroding the quality of democratic discourse. As reliance on digital platforms for information dissemination intensifies, the regulation of online content has become a focal issue for scholars, policymakers, and platform operators. This study examines the intersection of cyber law, platform governance, and content moderation, analyzing how platforms manage misinformation while balancing freedom of expression. Employing a normative and socio-legal approach, the research utilizes comparative methodology to assess national and international cyber law frameworks, alongside case studies of platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. Public policy analysis is conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of current governance models. Findings reveal significant variation in regulatory responses, with the European Union’s Digital Services Act offering a robust framework but facing enforcement challenges. Platforms, acting as non-state regulators, are criticized for inconsistent moderation and limited transparency. The study concludes that hybrid regulatory models combining state intervention with platform self-regulation hold promise for addressing misinformation effectively while safeguarding digital rights. This research contributes to ongoing debates on balancing free speech, accountability, and social control in the digital age.

Abstract

The rapid advancement and integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into diverse sectors of society have generated complex ethical and human rights challenges. Technologies involving surveillance, data collection, algorithmic decision-making, and facial recognition pose significant risks to privacy, equality, and freedom of expression. This study examines the intersection of AI and human rights through a comparative analysis of regulatory frameworks in the European Union (EU), the United States (US), and Asia. Employing a comparative legal approach, the research analyzes international and national regulatory instruments, including the EU AI Act, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and China’s Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL). Case studies of AI-related human rights violations, such as algorithmic bias and discrimination, are incorporated to illustrate real-world implications. Findings reveal substantial differences in governance approaches: the EU emphasizes a risk-based model prioritizing human rights protections, while the US and Asia adopt more fragmented or centralized strategies. The study underscores the urgent need for global regulatory harmonization to safeguard fundamental rights and promote ethical AI development. By highlighting both strengths and limitations of existing frameworks, the research contributes to ongoing debates on balancing innovation with accountability, transparency, and human rights protection in the digital era.

Abstract

Economic globalization has profoundly reshaped the legal and social structures of indigenous communities, often intensifying conflicts between state law and indigenous law. These conflicts stem from divergent legal norms and the marginalization of indigenous rights within national development agendas. This study investigates the interaction between state law and indigenous law, with particular attention to the impact of globalization and its implications for indigenous rights. Employing a qualitative socio-legal approach, the research utilizes a case study of a specific indigenous community, supported by interviews with indigenous leaders and policymakers, as well as analysis of national and international legal documents. The interpretative method highlights the meaning embedded in legal interactions and the lived experiences of indigenous communities. Findings reveal persistent tensions between state law and indigenous traditions, yet demonstrate that legal pluralism provides a constructive framework for reconciliation. Recognition of indigenous law contributes to social justice and underscores the need for inclusive development policies that promote economic fairness. The study concludes that national legal reforms are essential to strengthen the integration of indigenous law into formal structures, thereby advancing a more equitable and culturally responsive legal system.

Abstract

The rapid adoption of algorithmic systems in public governance has transformed decision-making and service delivery, offering promises of efficiency and transparency. Yet, these technologies raise pressing concerns regarding fairness, bias, and social justice. This study investigates the intersection of digital governance, algorithmic decision-making, and social justice, with particular emphasis on emerging democracies. Employing a qualitative socio-legal approach, the research combines normative analysis of governance regulations, case studies of algorithmic applications in public administration, and interviews with policymakers and technology law experts. Comparative analysis across emerging democracies highlights diverse strategies for addressing equity concerns in algorithmic systems. Findings reveal that while algorithmic systems enhance efficiency, they often reinforce existing inequalities due to insufficient safeguards against bias and discrimination. Moreover, regulatory frameworks remain fragmented and inadequate to ensure fairness and accountability. The study proposes the development of adaptive legal frameworks that integrate transparency, accountability, and citizen engagement into AI governance. By embedding social justice principles into algorithmic regulation, governments can foster inclusive policy design and equitable outcomes. This research contributes to ongoing debates on balancing technological innovation with democratic values, emphasizing the need for governance models that prioritize fairness alongside efficiency.

Abstract

The rapid development of smart cities, integrating technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data analytics, has transformed urban environments, improving public services and governance. However, this progress presents challenges in inclusivity, accountability, and equity, requiring updates to public service law to address emerging concerns. As digital technologies reshape governance, legal frameworks must balance innovation with citizens' rights protection. This study explores the intersection of law, technology, and society in smart cities, focusing on the implications of digital transformation on public service law. It identifies challenges in governance, including the digital divide, privacy protection, and data security. The research aims to propose an inclusive legal framework that supports technological innovation while promoting accountability and social equity in smart cities. A socio-legal approach is used, combining case studies, policy analysis, and stakeholder interviews. The findings reveal that while digital transformation improves efficiency, challenges remain in citizen participation and reducing inequalities. Successful smart city models, such as those in Barcelona and Tallinn, prioritize inclusivity, accountability, and participation. The study highlights the need for flexible, adaptive legal frameworks to ensure that smart cities are governed inclusively, transparently, and equitably.

Abstract

Indonesia already has a strong legal umbrella to protect migrant workers through Law Number 18 of 2017. Nevertheless, non-procedural migration, human trafficking, and various cases of violence against Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) continue to occur. This is the problem examined here: why good regulation has not been able to protect PMI in the field. This study aims to examine the gap between regulation and its implementation while identifying the variables that cause it. The study was conducted in East Java, the province of origin of the largest number of PMI in Indonesia. From all actors involved in the placement and protection of PMI, eight informants were purposively selected: BP3MI officials, provincial and district manpower offices, placement companies, returned PMI from both procedural and non-procedural pathways, victims' families, and civil society organizations. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documents, then processed by reducing, presenting, and drawing conclusions, and subsequently read using Van Meter and Van Horn's six-variable policy implementation model, tested through triangulation. The results show that the root of the problem lies not in the policy's objectives but in the limited resources of local governments, fragmented inter-agency coordination without a single case coordinator, bureaucracy preoccupied with paperwork, and economic pressure that pushes people toward illegal pathways. As a result, the state handles more cases than it prevents. The study concludes that this gap is systemic and demands integrated case services, a strengthened role for villages, simplification of official pathways, and training that genuinely equips PMI with knowledge of their rights.

Abstract

Underdeveloped, frontier, and outermost (3T) regions in Indonesia face persistent gaps in infrastructure and public services that pose a distinct challenge to accelerating the achievement of Village SDGs. Studies that explicitly link Smart Village policy implementation with Village SDGs achievement in these regions remain scarce. This study analyzes the implementation of Smart Village policy in 3T regions through the lens of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure, and identifies the opportunities and challenges it presents for accelerating Village SDGs achievement. A descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design was employed in Nunukan Regency, North Kalimantan, across three representative zones: Sebatik, Krayan, and Lumbis. The study population comprised Smart Village stakeholders in Nunukan Regency, with a purposively selected sample of 12 informants representing district government, village government, village facilitators, and community leaders. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observation, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, comprising data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with thematic categories based on the four policy implementation indicators of Edward III. The findings show that implementer disposition is the primary strength across all zones, while resources, bureaucratic structure, and digital inclusion remain weak points most strongly shaped by geographic conditions. The policy opens opportunities in public services, village economy, education, health, and governance, but faces challenges in infrastructure, human resources, bureaucratic fragmentation, social exclusion, privacy, and financing sustainability. The study concludes that accelerating Village SDGs achievement requires zone-differentiated strategies and an explicit linkage between village digital data and the development planning cycle.

Abstract

The Kalimantan border region, which directly adjoins Malaysia, faces a serious problem: the mobility of Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) departing through nonprocedural channels remains high, whether through the Border Crossing Post (PLBN) or unofficial routes. Official data record at least 70 unofficial paths in West Kalimantan, while North Kalimantan shows a recurring pattern of deportation. This condition raises the question of how effectively the PLBN performs its supervisory function. This study analyzes the effectiveness of the PLBN in monitoring illegal PMI mobility and identifies the challenges and obstacles faced by supervisory personnel along the Indonesia-Malaysia border. The population comprised border-supervision stakeholders at PLBN Entikong and PLBN Badau in West Kalimantan, and PLBN Sei Pancang and Nunukan in North Kalimantan. The sample consisted of ten purposively selected informants, including PLBN officers, Immigration Office staff, BP3MI officials, the Army's Border Security Task Force (Satgas Pamtas TNI), police, and border community leaders. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observation, and documentation study, and analyzed qualitatively using an interactive model in which data were condensed, displayed thematically, and then used to draw conclusions; validity was established through source and technique triangulation. The findings show that the PLBN is fairly effective in monitoring mobility on official routes; however, this effectiveness is spatial and easily circumvented, since recruitment networks can alter routes, timing, and methods of departure. The main obstacles include geographic conditions, limited resources, interagency data fragmentation, regulatory disharmony, economic pressure on border communities, and difficulty enforcing the law against key recruiters.
