Abstract

Indonesia, under the leadership of President Joko Widodo, has drafted a bill on the addition of police authority in the cyber domain. This bill has been criticized for not being part of the National Legislation Program (Prolegnas). Some of the issues that have been discussed include the surveillance of citizens’ freedoms in the cyber domain, which has too many authorities. The internet has become an essential tool for Indonesians, allowing them to carry out various activities, such as shopping, working, and accessing government services. However, internet usage is increasing, reaching 110 percent in usage. This increase is due to various reasons, such as faster access, better use of data, and better access to justice. The justice system in Indonesia is based on a bill that aims to protect the rights and interests of the public, enforce the law, provide assistance, and provide relief to the public. However, the bill does not comprehensively regulate the mechanism of oversight and balancing of these large authorities. Several initiatives have been proposed to improve the oversight and balancing of such oversight authority in policing so that cyberspace surveillance develops properly without having to sacrifice the interests of citizens. This research uses normative legal research by a statutory approach.
