Abstract
The rapid expansion of digital platforms has revolutionized the dynamics of freedom of expression, particularly in countries like Indonesia where the online landscape is rapidly evolving. This study investigates the challenges of maintaining freedom of expression amid the complexities of online content regulation in Indonesia. Using a mixed-methods approach that combines qualitative interviews, content analysis, and case studies with quantitative surveys, the research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the intricate relationship between regulatory measures and the preservation of free speech. The findings highlight ambiguities within the regulatory framework, instances of selective law enforcement, and the tangible impacts of regulation on content creators. The synthesis of qualitative and quantitative data offers nuanced recommendations for a more balanced and transparent approach to online content regulation in Indonesia.
