Abstract
Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 32 of 2002 concerning Broadcasting (Broadcasting Law) explains the definition of broadcasting in Article 1 paragraph (2) with the words "Broadcasting is the activity of broadcasting broadcasts through broadcasting facilities and/or transmission facilities on land, at sea or in outer space with using the radio frequency spectrum via air, cable, and/or other media to be received simultaneously by the public and the receiving device. The definition of broadcasting in the Broadcasting Law does not mention broadcasting via internet networks/infrastructure or over the top, thus broadcasting via social media platforms is still a question of whether it is subject to the Broadcasting Law or other laws. Regarding this matter, RCTI and iNews TV (MNC Group) submitted a material review to the Constitutional Court which essentially requested that the definition of broadcasting as mentioned in Article 1 paragraph (2) of the Broadcasting Law include providers of over-the-top (OTT) audiovisual services, or internet-based digital platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, or Facebook. RCTI and iNews argue that the request for judicial review of the Broadcasting Law for equality and moral responsibility of the nation is motivated by the desire to provide equal treatment and protection for all Indonesian people. Broadcasting is the activity of broadcasting broadcasts through broadcasting facilities and/or transmission facilities in the air, at sea, or in outer space using the radio frequency spectrum via air, cable, and/or other media to be received simultaneously and simultaneously by the public and broadcast receiving devices.
