In the latest article, Dr. Eka Nugraha Putra examines a recent case of coordinated disinformation in Indonesia to assess how the legal framework may serve as a tool to counter such phenomena.


The Author argues that coordinated disinformation campaigns in Indonesia could be addressed as forms of organized crime. He points to the country’s newly reformed criminal code as a potential turning point, since it could enable legal responsibility to be extended to organizations, not just individuals.


By shifting the legal focus toward the networks and entities behind digital manipulation, the article offers a forward-looking approach grounded in the Indonesian context. At the same time, it contributes to the broader international debate on how states can confront hostile influence and disinformation campaigns.
