This research study is normative juridical in nature as the main approach, considering that the discussion is based on legislation and legal principles applicable to issues of information technology crimes. The juridical approach is intended to conduct an assessment of the legal field, especially criminal law. Most social media users who intend to harm others in their use of social media will be ensnared by Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning Amendments to Law Number 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE Law), whether intentional or unintentional. The law should provide protection to internet users by thinking positively, having good intentions, and taking decisive action against cybercrime perpetrators.

The ITE Law is expected to provide guidelines in restricting the use of social media for the public.Top of Form
