Implications of Changes in the Criminal Procedure Law of the ITE Law on Individual Rights in the Indonesian Legal System

The revision of the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE) in Indonesia has become a hot topic of debate. Institutions and activists such as the Institute for Criminal Justice Reform (ICJR) and the Press Legal Aid Institute (LBH Pers) have presented various arguments regarding the impact of these changes. This article outlines the five main arguments advanced by the ICJR and LBH Pers. First, there is an objection to Article 27 paragraph (3) which regulates insults and defamation. Second, changes in criminal procedural law raise concerns about the discretionary authority of law enforcement officials without involving the courts. Third, the addition of cyberbullying-related crimes raises concerns about the potential for over-criminalization. Fourth, governments are given additional powers to filter and block content, which can result in potential abuse. Finally, the fifth argument relates to the "right to be forgotten" clause which can be used as a tool of censorship against news publications and journalists about one's past. This article also examines the impact of information technology developments on computer crime and underscores the importance of protecting individual rights and free speech in the digital age.

Cyber-Sabotage from The Perspective of Information and Electronic Transactions Regulation

Most cyber criminals on the internet will be ensnared by Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions. The law should offer protection to internet users with good intentions, and provide strict action for cybercrime, especially cyber sabotage actors who disrupt electronic systems and even cause electronic systems to not work properly. Similarly, in Article 5, namely obtaining evidence, there are many obstacles, especially against perpetrators of crimes in Article 33 of Law Number 11 of 2008. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that in addition to creating good laws, it also builds the skills of law enforcers to especially find evidence of cybercrime (cybercrime) which is not easy because the crime is in cyberspace by sabotaging the electronic system. In addition, the perpetrators of crimes also hide their identity and the actions they take in cyberspace which is a form of protection.

Private Life, Object of Criminal Protection in the European Context

The present action comes as a result of some recent legislative changes, at the level of Romania, more precisely the criminalization of "revenge pornography", but not as a distinct act, according to the provisions of the Criminal Code, but as a variant of committing the crime of violation of private life. Taking into account the provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights on the right to private life, we want to analyse to what extent and how the national legislator of other Member States of the European Union understood to criminalize the behaviour mentioned above. Moreover, considering the criminalization of child pornography, from the European Council Convention on Computer Crime, as well as from the Directive 2011/92/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of December 13, 2011, we want to analyse the opportunity of the existence in Romanian legislation of a distinct criminalization, with the name of "revenge pornography", in the same title of the special part of the Criminal Code as the crime of child pornography, taking into account the protected social value, while observing whether such an orientation is found in the criminal legislation of other Member States. Another aspect that will be considered from the perspective of applying the law to different cases brought to justice is that related to international judicial cooperation when the object of criminal protection is private life.

A state-of-the-art universal machine learning framework for decoding suspect coded messages

This proposed framework aims to mitigate global terrorist threats, suspicious activities, and legal violations by introducing an innovative system that monitors encrypted short-text messages across instant messaging programs. In the current landscape, criminals, terrorists, and clandestine entities extensively employ encrypted messages for illicit endeavours on a global scale. Despite the escalating use of encrypted messages on social media platforms, a comprehensive solution for combating online crime is notably absent.The outlined framework addresses this gap by employing a cryptographic system that integrates semantic web ontology, a Predefined Dataset, and machine learning technology for encryption, decryption, and cryptanalysis. A key feature is the framework's ability to predict potential crimes by analyzing blogs for suspicious terminology conveyed through coded information. The identified information is then promptly communicated to law enforcement agencies, thereby alleviating the burden on numerous security entities and offering an efficient strategy against global crime.What sets this proposed framework apart is its unique utilization of encrypted text, a dimension that has remained unexplored in previous studies. The cohesive integration of its components expedites the process of anticipating crime types and significantly reduces the incidence of encrypted crimes on a global scale.
