Abstract

The rapid growth of digital communication through online games has led to the emergence of negative behaviors, including hate speech that violates human rights. PUBG Mobile, a leading mobile game, allows players to interact through text and voice communication, which has unfortunately become a medium for hate speech. This study examines whether PUBG Mobile, as an internet intermediary, holds responsibility for mitigating such harmful content in accordance with Indonesian law, particularly the Information and Electronic Transactions Law. This research used normative legal research and applies Lawrence Lessig's “Code Theory” to analyze the regulation of hate speech in the context of online games, arguing that legal frameworks can either strengthen or weaken digital rights. The study concludes that PUBG Mobile, under Indonesian law, is obligated to prevent hate speech and ensure the protection of digital rights. The paper suggests that PUBG Mobile should adopt stricter measures to monitor and control player behavior to fulfill its responsibilities effectively.
