The Need for ITE Law Revision

The opportunity to revise the Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE) Law that was opened by President Joko Widodo has received a mixed response.

A number of parties consider this to be merely a rhetorical statement, responding to the magnitude of pressure on the alleged criminalization of legitimate expressions. A number of other parties consider this statement a "positive signal" in an effort to improve several articles in the ITE Law, as well as respond to actual developments in internet technology.
