This study aims to analyze the legal protection afforded to UMKM against predatory pricing practices in social commerce, with a focus on the TikTok platform in Indonesia. Predatory pricing refers to a strategy of selling goods at extremely low prices with the intent to eliminate competitors, which poses a threat to the sustainability of UMKM in the digital market. As MSMEs increasingly adopt digitalization and utilize e-commerce platforms, the challenges related to unfair business competition practices have become more evident. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical method, examining the relevant regulations, including Law No. 5 of 1999 concerning the Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition. The findings indicate that although regulations are in place, their implementation on digital platforms still faces various obstacles, such as weak supervision and difficulties in law enforcement. This study recommends enhancing oversight, providing education for UMKM, and simplifying legal procedures to strengthen the protection of MSMEs against predatory pricing in the digital era.

The digital transformation in Indonesia's land sector is marked by the implementation of electronic land certificates as regulated under Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency Regulation No. 1 of 2021. This policy aims to enhance efficiency and legal certainty in land administration. However, its implementation raises questions regarding the legal strength of electronic certificates and the protection of third parties, particularly good faith purchasers. This study uses a normative juridical approach to analyze the legal standing of electronic land certificates and the legal protection mechanisms for third parties in land transactions. The findings show that although electronic certificates hold the same legal force as physical certificates, there are still challenges related to data integration and legal safeguards for third parties. Strengthening regulations and the role of notaries/land deed officials (PPAT) is necessary to ensure the validity and legitimacy of electronic certificates and to achieve optimal legal certainty.

The use of social media as a means of the press has various legal implications amidst the rapid development of information technology. Social media makes it easy to disseminate information quickly and widely, but on the other hand, the absence of clear regulations in categorizing it as part of the formal press raises legal problems, especially related to responsibility for content, protection of individual rights, and freedom of expression. This study aims to examine the position of social media in the legal framework of the press in Indonesia, and to analyze its legal consequences for users who act as conveyors of public information. Using the normative juridical method, it was found that social media has not received explicit recognition as a press entity in the Press Law, thus creating legal loopholes in terms of accountability and legal protection. Regulatory updates are needed to ensure legal certainty and maintain a balance between freedom of expression and legal responsibility in the digital era.

The development of technology communication and information has produce the phenomenon of digital legacy, which is a person's digital footprint that remains stored and persists after they pass away.This digital legacy not only reflects a person's identity and personal life but also stores sensitive and private data.In the perspective of human rights, the right to privacy is a base right that must be protected, including personal data post-mortem. However, the legal system in Indonesia has not explicitly regulated the protection of digital legacy, resulting in a legal vacuum that potentially violates the right to privacy.This research uses a normative method with a legislative approach and a case approach.The study results show that the absence of national legal norms specifically regulating digital legacy causes society to depend on the internal policies of foreign digital platforms, which do not guarantee justice and human rights protection. National regulations are needed that specifically govern the protection of personal data post-mortem as a form of respect for human privacy and dignity, as well as a tangible manifestation of the state's responsibility to guarantee the human rights of its citizens in the digital era.

The development of the sharia economy in Indonesia demands the existence of a judicial institution capable of resolving disputes in accordance with Islamic legal principles. The Religious Court, through the amendment of Law Number 3 of 2006, has obtained the authority to handle cases in the field of sharia economics, including Islamic banking disputes. However, the implementation of this authority faces various challenges, both in terms of regulation, dualism of authority with general courts, and institutional readiness, such as human resources and infrastructure. This study employs a qualitative method with a normative juridical approach to analyze the legal basis, court practices, and institutional responses in the exercise of this authority. The results of the study indicate that the Religious Court holds great potential as a pillar for upholding sharia economic law but requires reinforcement in various aspects, including improving judges’ competencies, digitalizing the judicial system, and fostering inter-institutional synergy. Moreover, legal protection for justice seekers highly depends on the effectiveness and professionalism of the judicial institution. Therefore, a sustainable strategy is needed to build the institutional capacity of the Religious Court to respond to the dynamics of the sharia economy in a fair, accountable manner and in line with Islamic legal values in Indonesia.

The rapid development of information technology has significantly driven the growth of e-commerce as one of the main channels in modern commercial activities. In the beauty product sector, digital platforms offer consumers easier access and simultaneously expand market reach for business actors. However, this advancement also brings various challenges, particularly in relation to consumer protection. Common issues include product authenticity, information transparency, transaction security, and dispute resolution mechanisms. In this context, legal protection for consumers has become an urgent matter that cannot be overlooked. This study aims to analyze the forms of legal protection available to consumers of beauty products in e-commerce transactions and to assess the effectiveness of existing regulations in addressing these challenges. Using a normative juridical approach, the study evaluates relevant legislation, such as Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection, along with other regulations related to electronic transactions. The findings reveal that although legal instruments have been established to safeguard consumer rights, their implementation still encounters obstacles, including limited supervision of online business actors and low consumer literacy regarding their rights. Therefore, efforts are needed to strengthen regulations, improve consumer education, and optimize the roles of supervisory and dispute resolution institutions. In this way, the consumer protection system in the e-commerce sector—particularly for beauty products—can operate more effectively and provide a greater sense of security for the public in conducting digital transactions.

The rapid development of information technology has presented new legal challenges, particularly regarding the protection of personal data and information security. This research aims to examine the urgency of establishing legal regulations that are adaptive to the dynamics of information technology in Indonesia, and to examine the extent to which existing regulations are able to accommodate the needs of legal protection in the digital ecosystem. The research method used is normative juridical with a statutory approach and conceptual analysis of the applicable legal framework. The findings show that existing regulations, such as the Electronic Information and Transaction Law and the Personal Data Protection Law, still face obstacles in implementation, including overlapping rules, weaknesses in law enforcement, and low public digital literacy. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of continuous legal reform, synergy between law enforcement agencies, and increased public awareness to create a safe and equitable digital ecosystem.

The rapid development of information technology has significantly changed cybercrime, especially electronic document forgery. This re-search examines the utilization of digital forensics and information technology in proving the crime of electronic document forgery in In-donesia through a normative legal research approach. The research uses a statutory approach and a conceptual approach to analyze the ef-fectiveness of digital forensic methods in uncovering electronic crimes based on certain evaluation criteria including technical feasibility, legal acceptability, and procedural compliance with Indonesian law. The findings show that digital forensics has an important role in in-vestigating electronic document forgery, but faces complex implementation challenges. Key barriers include limited human resources, with only 147 certified digital forensics experts in Indonesia according to verified 2023 data from the Indonesian Digital Forensics Association (AFDI), and legal regulations that have not fully accommodated the evolving digital technology landscape. The research identifies signifi-cant technical barriers, such as the complexity of forensic technology, the volatility of digital evidence, and the rapid advancement of cyber-crime techniques. Through an examination of recent case studies including the Tokopedia data breach of 2023 and the Jakarta Administra-tive Court electronic document forgery case of 2022, this research demonstrates the practical application of digital forensics in Indonesian courts. The research proposes a balanced approach that fulfills both evidentiary and human rights protection requirements in digital inves-tigations. Strategic recommendations include strengthening the capacity of forensic laboratories, harmonizing legal regulations, and im-proving the competence of human resources in technology and law. This research contributes to the conceptual framework of cyber law enforcement by offering a comprehensive perspective on the evidentiary challenges of e-crime in the digital age.

The rapid development of information technology has brought various conveniences to human life, but it also brings new challenges in the form of cybercrime threats. One of these threats is cyberstalking, which is the act of stalking, harassment, or threats through digital media. Cyberstalking utilizes the anonymity of technology to violate the privacy, dignity, and psychological safety of the victim. In Indonesia, the regulation of cyberstalking is implicitly regulated through Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE Law) or in its latest amendment, namely in Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning the Second Amendment to Law Number 1 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions and the Criminal Code (KUHP). However, these regulations have not been able to cover the multidimensional dimensions of the crime, such as non-verbal harassment or emotional threats through digital media. This article analyzes cyberstalking in the perspective of Indonesian criminal law by highlighting the existing legal vacuum and the importance of regulatory reform based on the principles of legality, legal certainty, and protection of individual rights. Recommendations include revising the ITE Law, strengthening the capacity of law enforcers, and increasing public awareness to deal holistically with the threat of cyberstalking. With these steps, it is hoped that legal protection for victims can be improved in line with technological developments.

One of the changes experienced by humans is communication technology. Along with the development of the era, communication technology has also developed massively until it reached the digital era like today. However, this development does not always have a positive impact. One of the negative impacts that arises is the violation of the right to privacy. The right to privacy that will be discussed is in the form of personal data. Legal problems related to personal data are one of them shown in the rampant buying and selling of personal data that occurred in Indonesia. The incident was suspected of being to attract the interest of marketing personnel. Through international instruments, the constitution, and its legislation, Indonesia has had a number of regulations related to the protection of the right to privacy in the form of personal data. However, of course, in its implementation there are still challenges and obstacles. The research method used in compiling this scientific article is the literature study method (normative juridical). Although Indonesia has many laws that regulate the protection of the right to privacy, regulations related to this matter have not yet fully succeeded in securing individual personal data properly.

The development of information technology has had a major impact on the personal data management system. In Indonesia, the enactment of Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection is a crucial step in guaranteeing individual privacy rights as part of human rights. This study aims to examine the form of legal accountability for personal data violations based on the provisions of the Law Number 27 of 2022. The method used is normative juridical with a statutory regulatory approach. The results of the study show that violations of personal data can be subject to sanctions in two forms, namely administrative and criminal. These sanctions are given to data controllers and parties proven to have violated the provisions, either due to negligence or deliberate actions. Although it has been regulated normatively, implementation in the field still faces a number of challenges, such as weak supervision, lack of legal literacy in the community, and unpreparedness of digital infrastructure. Thus, it is necessary to strengthen supervisory institutions, ongoing public education, and more responsive law enforcement mechanisms. This research is expected to contribute to the development of regulations and practices for personal data protection in Indonesia.

Using normative legal research methods, this study highlights criminal penalties, the concept of restitution, and the impact of digital technology on copyright infringement. Primarily, the research explores the legal response to movie, music, and software piracy, detailing the criminal penalties provided for in Law Number 28 of 2014 on Copyright. In the context of digital technology, the research examines the role of technology in enhancing and challenging law enforcement against copyright infringement. The research conclusion emphasizes the importance of adaptive regulation, educational campaigns, and cross-sector collaboration, supported by the utilization of technology to enhance the effectiveness of law enforcement.

The rapid development of information technology in the digital era has presented new challenges in the protection of personal data. The government as the state administrator has a constitutional obligation to protect the rights of citizens, including the right to privacy. This study aims to analyze the form of government legal accountability in ensuring the protection of people's personal data amidst the increasing threat of information leaks and protection. The research method used is normative juridical with a regulatory-legislative approach as well as case studies and also the opinions of relevant experts. The research findings show that although there are legal instruments such as Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection, the effectiveness of its implementation is still limited by a number of factors, including weak supervision. The results of the analysis show that although regulations such as the Personal Data Protection Law have been present, implementation in the field still faces various obstacles, both in terms of law enforcement, public digital literacy, and transparency of permits. The government has a responsibility not only normatively, but also factually to protect personal data through policies that favor the public interest. The government is required not only to form regulations, but also to carry out supervisory and enforcement functions effectively and accountably, and sustainably in order to protect fundamental rights. Therefore, the government's legal responsibility must be realized through consistent real actions in ensuring the security of personal data in the digital era.

This research is based on the growing risk of personal data breaches in digital financial services, following the rapid growth of financial technology. The main goal of this study is to examine how personal data of consumers is legally protected under Law Number 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection, and to find out the challenges in applying this law in the digital finance sector. This study uses a legal approach by reviewing books and laws, and analyzing them in a simple, qualitative way. The results show that there are mismatches in regulations, low digital literacy, and technical and organizational problems that make it hard to apply the law effectively. This research suggests creating an independent supervisory body, making clear rules to support the law, improving public understanding, and encouraging cooperation between sectors to better protect users' personal data in digital services.

Protection of well-known trademarks is a crucial aspect of intellectual property systems, especially in the face of global trade dynamics and the development of digital technologies. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of legal protection for owners of well-known trademarks from the perspective of court decisions in Indonesia. Using a qualitative method based on a normative juridical approach and case studies of court rulings (including the Hugo Boss and Superman cases), this research reveals that trademark protection in Indonesia remains reactive, dependent on litigation, and has not fully prevented the registration of confusingly similar trademarks by parties acting in bad faith. Moreover, the absence of objective standards for defining well-known trademarks and indicators of bad faith weakens legal certainty. On the other hand, courts have begun to show consistency in rejecting trademark registrations that violate the principles of well-known trademark protection, although this has yet to be supported by an adequate administrative system from the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI). The study recommends the establishment of technical regulations, strengthening DJKI’s capacity, and integrating protection systems with international norms as strategic steps to reinforce legal protection for owners of well-known trademarks in Indonesia.

The protection of personal data privacy rights has become a crucial issue in the digital age. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of digital applications in increasing public awareness regarding the importance of personal data protection and its legal implications. The research method employed is a literature study with a normative juridical approach, analyzing relevant laws and regulations on personal data protection, literature studies, and an analysis of the features of digital applications that focus on privacy education and control. The results of the study indicate that digital applications have significant potential in raising public awareness through the provision of easily accessible information, visualization of risks, and consent control mechanisms for data usage. However, their effectiveness heavily relies on intuitive interface design, clear and concise information delivery, and developers' compliance with personal data protection principles. This research recommends the need for more comprehensive regulations to ensure the quality standards and accountability of digital applications in educating the public about personal data privacy rights, as well as encouraging collaboration between developers, the government, and civil society organizations to create a safer and more privacy-aware digital ecosystem.

The rapid development of digital technology in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution has significantly impacted Indonesia’s legal framework, particularly concerning digital privacy protection. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Undang-Undang Nomor 19 Tahun 2016 as an amendment to Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2008 tentang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik (UU ITE) in protecting digital privacy during the administration of President Joko Widodo. This research uses a normative legal method with a statutory and content analysis approach to examine digital legal policy. The findings show that, although there have been advances in regulation and law enforcement, digital privacy protection in Indonesia remains fragmented and has not fully adapted to the dynamic development of technology. The absence of a comprehensive legal framework and delays in the enactment of a dedicated data protection law are major challenges. The implications of this study highlight the urgency of formulating more progressive and holistic legal policies, along with adaptive regulations to ensure the protection of individual rights in the digital sphere.

The development of digital technology, particularly deepfake, has brought negative impacts, including the protection against non-consensual pornography content. Deepfake, which uses artificial intelligence to manipulate images, videos, or audio, allows the creation of pornography without the consent of the individual whose face or identity is manipulated. This phenomenon results in violations of privacy, honor, and the psychological well-being of the victims, while also spreading false information that can damage public perception. Although Indonesia has regulations such as Law No. 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE Law) and Law No. 44 of 2008 on Pornography, there are no specific provisions regulating the use of deepfake technology. This article identifies deficiencies in existing regulations and provides recommendations for adaptive legal measures, including legislative updates, strengthening digital platform responsibilities, enhancing law enforcement capacity, and international cooperation to address this threat. It is hoped that with these measures, protection for individuals in the digital era can be strengthened.

The rapid advancement of information technology in the modern era has significantly transformed various aspects of life, including the dissemination of information and digital services. In Indonesia, this transformation is marked by the widespread use of electronic systems in daily activities, by the government, private sector, and individuals alike. However, this progress also brings new challenges, particularly concerning child protection in digital spaces. Children, as a vulnerable group, are at risk of exposure to inappropriate digital content, misuse of personal data, and online exploitation.This article aims to analyze the obligations of electronic system providers in ensuring child protection, as regulated in Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning the Second Amendment to Law Number 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE Law). The study uses a normative juridical approach, analyzing applicable regulations, literature reviews, and relevant case examples.The findings indicate that Law Number 1 of 2024 strengthens the legal framework regarding the responsibilities of electronic system providers to ensure children's safety in the digital world. These responsibilities include content filtering, protection of children's personal data, and the provision of reporting and violation handling systems. This article emphasizes the importance of the active role of electronic system providers in creating a safe and child-friendly digital environment, as well as the need for government oversight and public participation in its implementation. This study is expected to serve as a reference for policy development on child protection in the digital era.

Along with the rapid and advanced development of the times, human thinking is also increasingly developing, including in terms of technology. Technological advances have brought great changes in human life. The rapid development of technology in Indonesia is accompanied by an increase in cybercrime, which poses a serious threat to national security and the country's economy.  The types of crimes include various illegal acts such as data theft, online fraud, hacking, and the spread of malware. This research aims to analyze the role of the government in tackling violent crime in Indonesia, by highlighting regulatory aspects, strengthening infrastructure, and cooperation with various parties. The results of the study show that the Indonesian government has made efforts to tackle cybercrime by implementing regulations such as the Electronic Information and Transaction Law (ITE Law) and strengthening cybersecurity infrastructure. Cooperation with various parties and the community has also been carried out to increase digital literacy and strengthen the cyber defense system. However, challenges are still faced in terms of this crime, even though there is a strong legal foundation, it is necessary to strengthen law enforcement capacity, develop more comprehensive policies in data protection, and increase public awareness
