Abstract

Digital law enforcement requires governments to be not only regulatory but also responsive to technological change. This article explores the multidimensional role of the Indonesian government, including regulation, execution, supervision, and facilitation. Using normative legal research with statutory and conceptual approaches, the study finds that government roles remain fragmented and predominantly repressive rather than restorative. Despite progress in legislation, a persistent paradox exists between maintaining order and protecting digital rights. Cases of platform blocking illustrate tensions between sovereignty and freedom. The government must shift toward a more accountable, facilitative role. Keywords: Digital Law Enforcement, Government Role, Content Blocking, Digital Sovereignty, Accountability

Abstract

This study examines the authority of the Mahkamah Konstitusi as a negative legislator in Decision No. 135/PUU-XXII/2024 and its implications for Indonesia’s electoral system. In principle, the Court functions as a negative legislator, whose role is limited to annulling unconstitutional norms without creating new legal norms. However, the decision separating national and local elections has generated significant debate regarding the boundaries of the Court’s authority. This research aims to analyze whether the Court, in this decision, remains within its role as a negative legislator or has shifted toward a positive legislator, as well as to assess the implications of such a shift on the electoral system. This study employs normative legal research using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The findings indicate that Decision No. 135/PUU-XXII/2024 reflects a tendency of the Court to formulate new legal norms, thereby suggesting a shift toward a positive legislator role. Nevertheless, this shift may be justified within the framework of constitutional interpretation, particularly in addressing legal gaps through judicial law-finding. The implications of this decision extend beyond electoral system design, affecting the principles of separation of powers and constitutional stability in Indonesia. Keywords: Constitutional Court, Negative Legislator, Positive Legislator, Electoral System, Constitutional Law

Abstract

Digital transformation has turned personal data from identity information into a tradable asset. This article examines personal data protection within a human rights framework and evaluates Indonesia’s regime under Law No. 27/2022 on Personal Data Protection (PDP Law). Using conceptual, statutory, and comparative approaches, the study finds that the PDP Law provides a legal foundation but still faces challenges involving independent supervision and remedies for data subjects. Personal data protection represents privacy, dignity, and constitutional rights. The article recommends establishing an independent supervisory authority and strengthening digital literacy. Keywords: Personal Data Protection, Human Rights, Digital Privacy, PDP Law, Constitutional Rights.

Abstract

The tension between citizens’ privacy rights and state cyber surveillance has become a major constitutional issue in the digital era. This article analyzes the constitutional limits of state surveillance and explores a balance between security interests and democracy. Using normative legal research with conceptual, statutory, and comparative approaches, the study finds that Indonesia’s cyber surveillance framework lacks proportionality, judicial oversight, and accountability. Regulations under the ITE Law and Intelligence Law grant broad discretion without adequate due process safeguards. The article recommends stronger judicial supervision, limiting executive discretion, and establishing a special supervisory court chamber. Keywords: Privacy Rights, Cyber Surveillance, State Interests, Proportionality, Due Process.

Abstract

This article analyzes the ethical and legal dimensions of personal data use in the digital economy, focusing on Indonesia’s PDP Law (Law No. 27/2022). It assesses the gap between legal compliance and ethical responsibility in data governance. Using normative legal research with conceptual and philosophical approaches, the study finds misalignment between legal standards and ethical expectations. Key principles such as fairness, algorithmic transparency, and user autonomy are not fully reflected in regulation. Digital lending cases show formal compliance may conflict with ethical expectations requiring stronger ethical integration in governance systems. Keywords: Ethical Data, Data Protection Law, Formal Compliance, Fairness, Algorithmic Transparency

Abstract

This article examines corporate legal liability for personal data breaches in Indonesia’s digital business sector under Law No. 27/2022 on Personal Data Protection (PDP Law). Using normative legal research with statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches, the study finds weaknesses in proof mechanisms, sanctions, and collective compensation systems. Current regulations rely heavily on fault-based liability, burdening victims despite the massive and asymmetrical nature of data breaches. Cases in digital finance and e-commerce reveal weak corporate accountability and limited victim recovery. The article recommends adopting strict liability, stronger supervisory authority, and accessible class action mechanisms. Keywords: Data Breach, Corporate Liability, Strict Liability, PDP Law, Collective Compensation.

Abstract

This article analyzes public legal awareness of digital privacy in Indonesia and its implications for implementing Law No. 27/2022 on Personal Data Protection (PDP Law). Using normative-sociological legal research and secondary data from digital literacy surveys, the study finds that public awareness remains superficial and is not consistently reflected in protective behavior. Low digital literacy, power imbalances between individuals and corporations, and cultural perceptions of privacy as a secondary value contribute to this condition. Major data breach cases reveal a gap between knowledge and action. The article recommends strengthening digital privacy education, literacy campaigns, and accessible complaint mechanisms. Keywords: Legal Awareness, Digital Privacy, PDP Law, Digital Literacy, Legal Culture.

Abstract

This study examines the legal protection afforded to outsourced workers under Indonesia’s Job Creation Law and its implementing regulations. The enactment of Law Number 6 of 2023 concerning the Stipulation of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law on Job Creation has significantly transformed Indonesia’s labor law framework, particularly in relation to outsourcing practices. One of the most substantial regulatory changes is the removal of restrictions on the categories of work that may be outsourced, which were previously governed under Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower. The technical implementation of outsourcing arrangements is further regulated under Government Regulation Number 35 of 2021. This research employs a normative legal research method using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The study is based on the analysis of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, which are examined qualitatively to evaluate the effectiveness of legal protection mechanisms for outsourced workers within the current labor law regime. The findings reveal that the post-Job Creation regulatory framework reflects a paradigm shift from restricting outsourcing practices toward emphasizing normative labor protection. Legally, outsourced workers continue to receive recognition of fundamental labor rights, including wage protection, social security, occupational health and safety guarantees, and compensation rights under fixed-term employment agreements. However, the elimination of limitations on outsourced work has expanded labor market flexibility and increased the potential use of outsourcing systems, which may consequently weaken job security and employment stability for workers. Furthermore, the trilateral legal relationship among outsourced workers, outsourcing service providers, and user companies continues to create legal ambiguities regarding responsibility and accountability in cases involving violations of workers’ rights. This study concludes that although legal protection for outsourced workers is normatively guaranteed under the Job Creation legal framework, its practical effectiveness remains highly dependent on consistent supervision, effective law enforcement, and regulatory compliance by employers. Therefore, a balanced regulatory model is necessary to harmonize economic flexibility with the protection of workers’ fundamental rights within Indonesia’s industrial relations system.

Abstract

This study examines the authority of regional governments in granting Building Approval Permits (Persetujuan Bangunan Gedung / PBG) under Law Number 6 of 2023 concerning the Stipulation of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law Number 2 of 2022 on Job Creation into Law. The study is motivated by the regulatory transformation from the former Building Construction Permit (Izin Mendirikan Bangunan / IMB) regime to the PBG system, which has significantly altered the distribution of authority between the central and regional governments within Indonesia’s decentralized governance framework. This research employs a normative legal research method using statutory and conceptual approaches. The analysis is based on primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials examined qualitatively to evaluate the legal position and administrative authority of regional governments in implementing the PBG system under the current regulatory framework. The findings demonstrate that regional governments continue to hold a strategic role in the administration of building approvals, particularly in relation to technical assessments, supervision, and the implementation of norms, standards, procedures, and criteria established by the central government. Nevertheless, the Job Creation regulatory framework indicates a growing centralization of authority through the integration of digital licensing mechanisms, particularly the Online Single Submission (OSS) system, which has reduced the discretionary authority of regional governments in the licensing process. Furthermore, several implementation challenges remain evident, including limited human resources, inadequate technological infrastructure, and the lack of regulatory harmonization between central and regional authorities. This study concludes that the authority of regional governments in granting Building Approval Permits under Law Number 6 of 2023 remains legally recognized; however, such authority is primarily administrative and technical in nature within a more centralized regulatory structure. Therefore, strengthening institutional capacity, harmonizing regulations, and improving the integration of licensing systems are essential to achieving effective, efficient, and accountable public services in Indonesia’s building governance sector. Keywords: Regional government authority; Building Approval Permit (PBG); Job Creation Law; public administration; licensing system; decentralization; Online Single Submission (OSS); Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the scope of the Banten Provincial Government’s authority in implementing population control policies within Indonesia’s decentralized governance system. The research is grounded in the principle of decentralization as regulated under Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government, which establishes the distribution of governmental affairs between the central and regional governments. The study specifically addresses two main issues: first, the authority of the Banten Provincial Government in implementing population control programs; and second, the institutional balance between the National Population and Family Planning Agency (Badan Kependudukan dan Keluarga Berencana Nasional / BKKBN) and the Office of Women Empowerment, Child Protection, Population Control, and Family Planning of Banten Province (DP3AKKB) in implementing population control policies under Law Number 52 of 2009 concerning Population Development and Family Development. This research employs an empirical juridical method to examine the governmental affairs assigned to the Banten Provincial Government in the population control sector and to analyze the coordination between BKKBN and DP3AKKB as the primary institutions responsible for policy implementation. The study uses statutory analysis supported by empirical findings derived from institutional practices and policy implementation. The findings indicate that the authority of the Banten Provincial Government in population control affairs is regulated under Articles 11 and 12 of Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government, which also carries financial implications under Law Number 33 of 2004 concerning Fiscal Balance between the Central Government and Regional Governments. Furthermore, the implementation of population control programs by BKKBN and DP3AKKB has not yet achieved optimal balance and effectiveness. This condition arises from the transfer of authority over family planning and population control programs from the central government to regional governments, resulting in policy disparities and variations in implementation among different regions. This study concludes that although decentralization aims to strengthen regional autonomy in population control governance, the shift in authority has created challenges related to institutional coordination, policy harmonization, and program effectiveness. Therefore, stronger intergovernmental coordination and regulatory synchronization are necessary to ensure effective and equitable implementation of population control policies across regions in Indonesia.  Keywords: Population Control; Regional Government Authority; Decentralization; Family Development; Regional Autonomy; BKKBN; Public Governance; Indonesia.
