Government Set to Introduce Minor Revisions to ITE Law

Despite ultimately deciding not to repeal the controversial Law on Electronic Information and Transactions (“ITE Law”), Indonesia's Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs, Mahfud MD, issued a statement recently affirming that the government is set to implement a number of minor revisions to the ITE Law, which include the following: 1) Addition of elucidations to several articles which have been dogged by ambiguities and multiple interpretations (including improved definitions of blasphemy and defamation); and 2) Incorporation of a new article 45C, which is set to strengthen the current provisions.
Furthermore, Mr. Mahfud has also stated that the government is set to issue a Joint Decree (Surat Keputusan Bersama/SKB) of the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, the Attorney General’s Office and the National Police Force, which will serve as a set of technical guidelines and implementing criteria in relation to the ITE Law. _(ANT)
