| contents | <p>This study examines the legal analysis of law enforcement in addressing disinformation through social media in Indonesia. Disinformation is viewed as a serious threat to public order, democracy, and the protection of human rights, thus requiring a clear and implementable legal framework. The primary legal basis used is Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions, as most recently amended by Law Number 1 of 2024, and Government Regulation Number 71 of 2019 concerning the Implementation of Electronic Systems and Transactions. Furthermore, government policies through the Ministry of Communication and Informatics in the form of content moderation, account blocking, and collaboration with international digital platforms are also important instruments in law enforcement practices. The study results indicate that normatively, existing legal instruments have provided a strong basis for prosecuting perpetrators of disinformation dissemination. However, in practice, weaknesses remain in the form of multiple interpretations of norms, potential violations of the right to freedom of expression, and technical challenges in reaching perpetrators across jurisdictions. Thus, law enforcement against disinformation via social media can be effective if it is carried out with a balance between legal certainty, human rights protection, and increasing the capacity of law enforcement institutions.</p> |
