Keamanan Internet & Daring: Indonesia (2026)
Indonesia has a comprehensive, multi-layered online-content regime centred on the ITE Law (twice amended, most recently by Law No. 1/2024), MR5 (2020) requiring platform registration and rapid takedowns, and PP Tunas (2025), which entered force in April 2025 with child-safety obligations for high-risk platforms taking effect on 28 March 2026. The regime is broad and restrictive: Komdigi can order takedowns within 4 hours (urgent) or 24 hours (other 'prohibited' content) via the SAMAN system, block non-registered platforms, and pursue criminal penalties under UU ITE for defamation, hate speech, and 'immoral' content. Freedom House classifies Indonesia's internet as 'Partly Free', reflecting significant state content control alongside the formal legal framework.
Kerangka kerja utama
Law No. 11/2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions (UU ITE), as amended by Law No. 19/2016 and Law No. 1/2024; Ministerial Regulation (Kominfo/Komdigi) No. 5/2020 (MR5) on Private Electronic System Operators; and Government Regulation No. 17/2025 (PP Tunas) on Child Protection in Electronic Systems. Regulator: Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi, formerly Kominfo).
Poin utama
UU ITE (Electronic Information & Transactions Law)
The core statute (Law 11/2008, amended by Law 19/2016 and Law 1/2024) criminalises online defamation, hate speech, 'immoral' content, gambling and false information. The 2024 second amendment narrowed defamation, lowered maximum sentences from four to two years, and added specific provisions on false announcements and hate distribution.
MR5 platform registration & rapid takedowns
Ministerial Regulation 5/2020 requires all Private Electronic System Operators (social media, search, e-commerce, games) accessible in Indonesia to register with Komdigi and comply with content-removal orders — within 4 hours for 'urgent' content and 24 hours otherwise. Non-registrants can be blocked; MR5 enforcement previously blocked services such as PayPal and Steam, and in 2026 blocked Wikimedia's authentication domain.
PP Tunas — child online-safety regulation
Government Regulation No. 17/2025 (PP Tunas), effective from 1 April 2025 with social-media age rules enforced from 28 March 2026, requires platforms to implement age verification, age-appropriate design, risk assessments and parental controls. Children under 16 are barred from 'high-risk' platforms (YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, X, Threads, Roblox) except with parental consent for the 16–17 band.
SAMAN takedown system & fines
Komdigi operates the SAMAN mechanism to issue takedown orders to major platforms (Meta, TikTok, X, YouTube). Non-compliance can trigger administrative fines of up to IDR 500 million (~USD 29,000) per item and access blocking. Komdigi reported in 2026 that platform compliance with takedown requests was only about 20%, prompting pressure on global platforms to open local offices.
Intermediary liability & 'prohibited' content
Under MR5 and the ITE Law, platforms are liable for user-generated content they fail to remove after government notice. The definition of 'prohibited' or 'negative' content is broad — encompassing pornography, gambling, hate, disinformation and content 'disturbing public order' — and has been criticised by ARTICLE 19, EFF and Access Now as overly wide and vulnerable to abuse against political speech.
Regulator & institutional reshaping
The lead regulator was renamed from Kominfo to the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi) in 2024 under the Prabowo administration, with an expanded digital-governance mandate covering content moderation, platform registration, child protection and coordination with the OJK and the new Personal Data Protection Authority.
