Abstract

As technology and information develop, regulations and laws are forced to govern the relationship between individuals and individuals in cyberspace. The emergence of Indonesian Republic Law No 19 of 2016 and the Personal Data Protection Law in Article No 27 of 2022 illustrates that the Indonesian government is also involved in maintaining order in Indonesian society on social media. However, what are the differences and similarities between the two laws in tackling the crime of doxing? Then, what is the role of the police in handling the criminal act of doxing in Indonesia? Law No 19 of 2016 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions and Law No 27 of 2022 regarding Personal Data Protection have a similar function in preventing the criminal act of spreading personal data (doxing). In the personal data protection law, suppose the ITE law discusses Electronic Documents and Electronic Information such as images, videos, and sound documents. In that case, the regulation discusses formal data such as genetic data, address, family, etc. The two laws complement each other, and both function as an effort to protect the public from the criminal act of spreading personal data (doxing). In the context of law enforcement officials, the police are currently very good at handling cybercrime because they are assisted by the presence of 11 sophisticated data forensic laboratories and other supporting tools, in harmony with the presence of qualified human resources to deal with cybercrime cases.
