Population administration services are essential public services that fulfill the civil rights of the community. However, the process of changing Family Card (KK) data at the village level often faces problems, such as complicated procedures and limited access to services. With the development of information technology, village governments are required to implement digital-based service innovations through a digital governance approach. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of digital governance implementation in population administration services through the LAPAK SARAH application for Family Card data changes in Dayu Village, Nglegok District, Blitar Regency. The approach used in this study is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Research informants included village officials and community members as service users. The results showed that the use of the LAPAK SARAH application could improve the performance of population administration services, as indicated by faster service times, easier access, and increased service transparency and accountability. From a digital governance perspective, the role of village officials, cooperation with the Population and Civil Registration Office, and community participation improved service quality. However, this study also found obstacles such as limited digital literacy among the community, differences in village device capacity, and technical infrastructure constraints. The success of digital population administration services at the village level is not only determined by the use of technology, but also by the quality of governance and the readiness of the parties involved.

The development of financial technology has driven significant transformations in the non-cash payment system in Indonesia, one of which is through the use of the Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS). The use of QRIS in civil transactions relates not only to the technical aspects of payments but also has legal implications in the civil realm, particularly regarding the application of the principle of consensualism and the status of electronic evidence in the Indonesian civil procedural law system. This study aims to analyze the application of the principle of consensualism in QRIS e-payment transactions as electronic evidence in civil procedural law. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory and conceptual approach. The results indicate that QRIS transactions meet the principle of consensualism due to the agreement of the parties, and QRIS can be qualified as a valid electronic document as long as it meets the requirements for electronic system reliability and information integrity as stipulated in laws and regulations. However, the evidentiary power of QRIS is not perfect and requires the support of other evidence, with the final assessment resting with the judge based on the principle of independent evidence in civil procedural law.

The development of technology in the era of globalization has brought significant changes in society, particularly through the emergence of the internet and social media such as WhatsApp, X (Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, and TikTok, which facilitate rapid information dissemination. This development has also given rise to a new profession, namely content creators, who produce and share content in the form of images, videos, or text for branding, professional purposes, or self-expression, often resorting to sensationalism to attract audience attention. On the other hand, the ease of access to social media has also triggered the spread of negative content, including pornography, as evidenced by Komdigi/Kominfo data showing millions of blocked negative content, with X being one of the dominant platforms. In Islamic perspective, anything that leads to adultery is prohibited as stated in QS. Al-Isra verse 32. A prominent case is Dea OnlyFans (Gusti Ayu Dewanti) who was arrested for distributing pornographic content through OnlyFans and Google Drive, charged under the Pornography Law and ITE Law, and found guilty in the Supreme Court Decision Number 2086 K/Pid.Sus/2023. This study discusses 1) How are the differences in judges' considerations at the District Court, High Court, and Cassation? 2) Can the Supreme Court judges' considerations provide a deterrent effect? This research uses a descriptive method with normative legal research based on literature study, using primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials.

Evidence is a fundamental element in the legal proof process that serves as the basis for judges to examine, assess, and decide cases in court. Along with the advancement of information technology, the form of evidence has evolved, including digital evidence such as screenshots of conversations through digital communication applications like WhatsApp. This study aims to analyze the legal position and evidentiary value of digital conversation screenshots within the Indonesian legal system. The research method uses a normative juridical approach by examining laws and regulations, legal doctrines, and relevant court decisions. The results indicate that screenshots of conversations have legal recognition as electronic evidence; however, their evidentiary strength is limited and requires support from other forms of evidence. Judges apply the principle of Unus Testis Nullus Testis, meaning that screenshots cannot stand alone as sole evidence and must be supported by additional legal proof to fulfill the requirements of valid, complete, and convincing legal evidence.

. This study aims to analyze the communication strategy of the Serang City Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP) in providing public services to the community, as well as identifying supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, while secondary data were collected from literature, regulations, and related official sources. The focus of the study is directed at the application of the two-way symmetrical communication theory that emphasizes interactive dialogue, feedback acceptance, communication equality, and active community participation. The results show that the Serang City DPMPTSP implements various communication strategies, including delivering information face-to-face and digitally (website, social media, and SKM barcodes), providing complaint channels, and involving the community in service evaluation. Supporting factors include the availability of service facilities, competent human resources, and information technology support. Inhibiting factors include limited digital literacy in the community, technical system obstacles, and differences in the level of public understanding of service procedures.

The advancement of information technology has brought significant changes to society but also generated new crimes, such as online child sexual exploitation (cybersex trafficking). This study examines this phenomenon by focusing on the live streaming application "HOT51," which is frequently used as a medium for child exploitation. The research employs a qualitative descriptive analysis method based on secondary data from official reports and related literature. Findings indicate that the easy access to modified APK applications facilitates sexual exploitation of children, the most vulnerable group. Indonesian regulations already address child protection, but implementation faces challenges such as low digital literacy and weak supervision of digital platforms. This study emphasizes the need for tightened monitoring, digital literacy education, and active parental roles to reduce the risk of sexual exploitation in the digital realm. The contribution lies in enhancing understanding of child protection challenges in the digital era and highlighting the importance of adaptive regulations and multi-stakeholder cooperation to safeguard child rights and safety.

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) play a crucial role in creating consistency, efficiency, and accountability in governance. However, the process of developing SOPs within the bureaucracy often faces complex organizational communication challenges. This study aims to analyze the organizational communication process in developing SOPs at the Serang City Regional Inspectorate, focusing on the role of the Secretariat as the administrative coordination center. The method used was a qualitative case study approach, involving in-depth interviews with key informants, observation, and documentation analysis. The results indicate that organizational communication plays a crucial role in every stage of SOP development, from data collection and drafting, to cross-sector coordination, and document finalization. The Secretariat acts as a liaison between units, archives manager, and coordination meeting facilitator. However, obstacles identified include a top-down vertical communication pattern, differing perceptions between units, delays in information flow due to bureaucracy, and limited technology-based communication tools. Improvements were made through the establishment of cross-unit forums, communication training, and the use of online applications to strengthen two-way communication. The implications of this research indicate that increasing the effectiveness of organizational communication is a key factor in accelerating the process of preparing SOPs and supporting the creation of more responsive, efficient, and accountable governance.

This study aims to determine the implementation of the Smart Society 5.0-based digital literacy program in Ciamis Regency, implemented by the Communication and Informatics Office (Diskominfo). This program is part of the local government's digital transformation to create a smart, inclusive, and adaptive society to the development of information technology. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods, and data is obtained through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation. The analysis is conducted using Charles O. Jones's theory of public policy implementation, which includes three main components: organization, interpretation, and implementation. The results show that organizationally, Diskominfo has a supportive structure and relatively competent human resources, although there are still limitations in the mastery of digital technology among employees.

The development of information and communication technology (ICT), particularly the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data, has transformed Indonesia's national security threat landscape. Threats that previously focused on traditional military aspects have now shifted to non-traditional cyber threats, such as cyberattacks, digital espionage, and infrastructure sabotage. According to PROXSIS IT GRC data, in 2024, more than 19 million cyberattacks were recorded against websites in Indonesia. While this figure is a decrease compared to the previous year, this trend is thought to reflect a shift towards more structured and organized tactics by threat actors. In response, the Indonesian government established the National Cybersecurity Action Plan 2024–2028 as a strategic guideline. Furthermore, cyber diplomacy is being promoted through bilateral and multilateral cooperation, for example through the signing of memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with the UK and Kaspersky. This cooperation includes the exchange of intelligence information, strengthening human resource capacity, raising public awareness regarding cybersecurity, and protecting critical information infrastructure. This study uses non-traditional security theory and defense diplomacy to analyze the strategies, challenges, and prospects of Indonesia's cyber policy. The analysis demonstrates that cyber defense diplomacy plays a crucial role as an instrument for integrating technology, regulation, and international collaboration in safeguarding digital sovereignty. In addition to strengthening threat detection and mitigation capabilities, this diplomacy also builds networks of trust with partner nations, which is essential amidst the increasing complexity of global threats. Therefore, in the era of digital globalization, full of interconnections, cyber defense diplomacy serves not only as a national protection tool but also as Indonesia's contribution to global cybersecurity stability. This effort prioritizes synergy between technological innovation, law enforcement, and sustainable international cooperation.

The rise in corruption cases in Indonesia significantly hampers investment, impacts national economic growth, and undermines the integrity of public institutions. This study highlights the strategic role of public mobilization as guardians of transparency in preventing potential corruption at the Danantara Investment Management Agency (BPI). Using a normative legal research approach enriched by qualitative analysis of the regulatory framework and best practices, this study examines the legal basis supporting public participation and formulates an effective corruption prevention strategy in the digital era. The results show that optimizing the role of the public through information transparency and the use of information and communication technology (ICT) plays a crucial role in building accountability and detecting irregularities. Access to audit data, financial evaluations, and public information is an important instrument in strengthening oversight. The use of ICT allows the public to analyze anomalous patterns, assess institutional performance, and provide constructive feedback on investment management policies. However, this mobilization faces significant challenges. First, the complexity of financial and regulatory data often makes it difficult for the general public to interpret. Second, limited digital literacy hinders the public's ability to utilize oversight technology. Third, the urgent need for certainty of legal protection for whistleblowers or oversight participants is a determining factor in the success of the mobilization. Therefore, strengthening regulations that guarantee legal protection, increasing digital literacy capacity, and developing user-friendly public oversight platforms are necessary. Synergy between the government, investment management institutions, and the public is key to creating a transparent, responsive, and adaptive oversight system to technological developments. This way, the active role of the public can be optimized to strengthen the integrity of BPI Danantara and promote a healthy investment climate in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the principle of public interest in the implementation of public services by the Population and Civil Registration Office (Disdukcapil) of Bekasi Regency, as well as to evaluate the extent to which the implementation of these principles contributes to efforts to realize people's welfare. The principle of public interest is one of the basic principles in the implementation of public services that emphasizes the fulfillment of basic rights of the community in a fair, fast, equitable, and accountable manner. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, where data is collected through in-depth interviews, direct observations in the field, and documentation studies on various policies and service reports. The results of the study show that the Bekasi Regency Disdukcapil has adopted various innovations in services, such as online services, digital queue systems, the use of information technology-based applications, and increasing the transparency of service information through social media and official websites. These steps are taken to improve accessibility, efficiency, effectiveness, and community satisfaction as service recipients. However, the implementation of the principle of public interest still faces several obstacles, such as limited competent human resources (HR), uneven information technology infrastructure, and low digital literacy among certain communities, especially the elderly and people in suburban areas. This condition results in the suboptimal public service oriented to the public interest to the maximum. Therefore, continuous efforts are needed through increasing the capacity of the apparatus, the development of inclusive and adaptive public service technology, and massive education to the public to increase participation, understanding, and awareness of the available services. Thus, the public services that are carried out can really contribute to realizing the welfare of the people as a whole, equitable, and just.

The development of digital technology has had a significant impact on people's lives, including the protection of citizens' privacy rights. One key issue that has emerged is the management and protection of personal data, which is increasingly vulnerable to misuse. This study aims to examine and compare the personal data protection provisions stipulated in the 2024 Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law) and Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection (PDP Law). The research method used is a normative approach with comparative study techniques. The study focuses on the legal substance, scope of data protection, and institutional roles in implementing both regulations. The analysis shows that the ITE Law remains general in nature, lacking specific detailed regulations governing personal data protection mechanisms. Meanwhile, the PDP Law presents a more systematic and comprehensive specific regulation, referencing international principles such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union. However, several implementation challenges exist, including overlapping authority between institutions, inconsistencies in legal norms, and limited adequate legal infrastructure. This situation has the potential to create regulatory dualism and complicate the law enforcement process. Therefore, steps are needed to harmonize the ITE Law and the PDP Law, strengthen the capacity of institutions responsible for data protection, and increase the digital literacy of the public so that citizens' digital rights can be optimally protected in the digital era.

Online gambling is a form of cybercrime that utilizes information and communication technology, especially the internet, as a medium to commit gambling crimes. Online gambling as a form of cybercrime has become an increasingly widespread phenomenon in line with the rapid development of information and communication technology. Gambling that was previously only known conventionally is now transforming into the digital realm by utilizing the internet as the main media. This research uses a theoretical study of online gambling as cybercrime. This research uses a qualitative approach with an analytical descriptive method. The types of data used are primary data in the form of laws and regulations (ITE Law, Criminal Code), online gambling case documents, official police reports, as well as academic literature and scientific articles related to cybercrime and online gambling. Meanwhile, secondary data is obtained from observation of the investigation process and law enforcement carried out by the cybercrime unit in the police. The data collection technique uses Library Research to collect secondary data relevant to cybercrime legal regulations and theories. The data analysis technique uses qualitative analysis techniques with a descriptive approach. Online gambling is expressly prohibited by Indonesian laws and regulations, especially through Law No. 11/2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE Law) and its amendments, such as Law No. 19/2016 and Law No. 1/2024. Article 27 paragraph (2) of the ITE Law prohibits any person from distributing, transmitting, or making accessible electronic information containing online gambling content, with imprisonment of up to 10 years and a maximum fine of IDR 10 billion in the latest amendment. In addition, the Criminal Code (KUHP) regulates gambling in general in Articles 303 and 303 bis, with criminal penalties that are also quite severe, although they do not specifically regulate online gambling. Law enforcement against online gambling faces various complex challenges. The existing regulations are still partial and not fully able to accommodate the cross-border and dynamic characteristics of cybercrime.Proof of online gambling cases relies heavily on electronic evidence that requires digital forensic expertise,such as imaging the perpetrator's device and server,as well as analyzing activity logs and electronic transactions

The results of the study indicate that taking an active part in reporting and monitoring can increase the accountability of public officials.

The development of digital technology based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) has had a significant impact on society, including the emergence of new crimes such as deepfake pornography. Deepfake pornography is a form of AI misuse that creates fake pornographic content by manipulating a person's face into a video or image without consent. This phenomenon raises complex legal issues within the Indonesian criminal law system. This study aims to examine how Indonesian criminal law regulates AI deviations in the form of deepfake pornography and to assess the effectiveness of these regulations in providing legal protection. This research uses a normative approach with qualitative analysis methods and the theory of legal effectiveness as the analytical tool. The research findings indicate that AI deviations in the form of deepfake pornography are not specifically regulated in Indonesia's positive criminal law. The applicable regulations are still general in nature, scattered across several laws such as the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law), Personal Data Protection Law, Pornography Law, Sexual Violence Criminal Act Law, Copyright Law, and the Criminal Code (KUHP), which do not comprehensively address the technological aspects and psychosocial impacts of this crime. Based on Soerjono Soekanto's theory of legal effectiveness, the existing regulations are not yet effective, as seen from the legal substance, law enforcement, legal facilities and infrastructure, community factors, and legal culture. Therefore, a responsive legal reform is needed to keep pace with digital technological developments, along with strengthening the capacity of law enforcement institutions.
