THE ROLE OF LAW IN GUARANTEEING FULFILLMENT OF DIGITAL RIGHTS CITIZEN IN INDONESIA

Sutan Siregar, Nur Oloan, Devi Rakhmatika

Abstract


This research aims to examine in depth the role of law in ensuring the fulfillment of citizens' digital rights in Indonesia, in the midst of the rapid development of information technology and national digital transformation. Digital rights including the right to privacy, access to information, data security, freedom of digital expression, and protection from cybercrime-are an essential part of modern human rights. Indonesia's legal framework, through the ITE Law, the Personal Data Protection Law, and various derivative regulations, has provided a legal basis for the protection of digital rights. However, the rapid digital dynamics have created new challenges in terms of law enforcement, people's digital literacy, the readiness of state institutions, and supporting technological capabilities. The study found that although regulations have evolved significantly, digital rights guarantee mechanisms still need to be strengthened, especially in terms of enforcement consistency, regulatory harmonization, and multi-sector collaboration. This research recommends the renewal of the adaptive legal framework, capacity building of law enforcement agencies, and national digital literacy strategies.
