The rapid rise of Indonesia’s digital economy is changing how people participate as citizens and how their consumer rights are protected. This study explores the legal dimensions of digital citizenship through a normative juridical review of the Consumer Protection Law, the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, and the Personal Data Protection Law. Although these laws provide basic safeguards, significant problems remain such as data privacy violations, unclear algorithmic practices, cross-border legal barriers, and deceptive online advertising. Low public legal awareness and the absence of a unified dispute-resolution system further leave consumers vulnerable to powerful global digital platforms. The study argues that stronger protection requires embedding digital citizenship principles into Indonesia’s legal framework, harmonizing national rules with international standards, enhancing platform oversight, and improving digital literacy. In conclusion, a flexible and forward-looking legal approach is crucial to making consumer protection a core part of digital citizenship and ensuring public trust and human rights in the digital era.

The rapid development of information and communication technology has driven the transformation of human activities into the digital realm, making cyber law regulation an essential need to govern activities in the virtual world. This research discusses the comparison of cyber law regulations in Indonesia and Singapore, specifically the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE) and the Cybersecurity Act as well as the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (POFMA), focusing on legal philosophy, enforcement mechanisms, and the protection of freedom of expression. A normative legal research method with a comparative approach is used to analyze the normative context, law enforcement implementation, and the social impacts of both regulations. The research findings indicate that Indonesia adopts a repressive legal approach with fragmented enforcement and challenges related to digital literacy, which leads to potential restrictions on freedom of expression. In contrast, Singapore applies a risk-based regulatory framework with centralized coordination and a more adaptive mitigation approach, aiming to balance content control with the protection of human rights. This research recommends reforms and strengthening of cyber law regulations in Indonesia to improve law enforcement effectiveness and ensure proportional freedom of expression in the digital era.

The development of digital technology has provided convenience in various aspects of life, but also presents new challenges in the form of cybercrime. One of the increasingly widespread modes in Indonesia is the spread of APK (Android Package Kit)-based malware via short messages offering fake job vacancies or fictitious package notifications. When the victim downloads and installs the application, the perpetrator gains access to personal data and banking accounts, which are then used for criminal acts. This phenomenon causes great financial and emotional losses for the community and tests the effectiveness of criminal law in dealing with technology-based cybercrime. This study uses a normative juridical approach with an analysis of laws and regulations, scientific literature, and actual case studies. The results of the study show that the perpetrators can be charged with Articles 30, 32, and 35 of the ITE Law, as well as provisions in the new Criminal Code. However, the implementation of law enforcement still faces challenges, such as digital evidence, limited investigator capacity, and minimal cross-country cooperation. Therefore, cyber law policy reform, increasing digital literacy in the community, and strengthening coordination between law enforcement agencies are needed.

The general election as a pillar of democracy faces new challenges with the rapid development of information technology, one of which is the practice of doxing—disseminating personal data without consent to harm individuals. In the context of Indonesia’s 2024 General Election, doxing cases have increased, targeting political figures and ordinary citizens, potentially undermining political participation and violating the right to privacy. This study aims to analyze the legal framework governing doxing based on Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE Law) and Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection (PDP Law), as well as to examine the form of criminal liability for perpetrators of doxing in the context of the 2024 election. This normative juridical research employs statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The findings reveal that although not explicitly regulated, doxing can be classified as a legal violation under the two laws. However, law enforcement still faces technical and normative obstacles, such as difficulty in identifying perpetrators and proving intent. Strengthening legal provisions and the capacity of law enforcement officers is essential to ensure accountability without compromising democratic principles.

The advancement of information and communication technology in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 has given rise to various digital innovations, one of which is deepfake technology that utilizes artificial intelligence and machine learning to manipulate audio-visual content convincingly. Although it has positive potentials in entertainment and education, the misuse of deepfake on social media has caused various legal and ethical issues, such as the spread of hoaxes, defamation, privacy violations, and non-consensual pornography. This study aims to analyze the use of deepfake from the perspective of Indonesian law, particularly through Law Number 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE Law) and its amendments. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and literature study methods, this research examines the technical aspects of deepfake development, the relevance of ITE Law articles in regulating manipulative content, and the challenges of law enforcement amid low digital literacy in society. The findings show that although there are no explicit provisions concerning deepfake in the ITE Law, several articles can serve as a legal basis to prosecute offenders, albeit with interpretative and technical implementation challenges. Therefore, regulatory updates and improvements in digital literacy are necessary to prevent and effectively handle the misuse of deepfake technology.
