JAKARTA-- As the government opens up space for criticism and suggestions, National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo will be selective in implementing the Information and Electronic Transactions Law or ITE.
This step was taken to avoid any attempts to report each other using articles that were considered rubber in the Act and the perceived criminalization using the ITE Law.
"In order to ensure that the use of articles which are considered rubber articles in the ITE Law, of course, have the potential to later be used to report or report to one another, or better known as criminalizing under the ITE Law, can be suppressed and controlled," said the National Police Chief. Listyo Sigit after the TNI-Polri meeting at the Police Headquarters Rupatama, Jakarta, Monday (15/2/2021).
The former Banten Police Chief emphasized that his party would prioritize education and persuasion with restorative justice measures. That way, said Sigit, the use of cyber and digital space can run well, but he noted that social media must comply with applicable rules and ethics.
"The ITE Law is also a note that in the future we can actually enforce the law selectively by prioritizing education, prioritizing persuasion and then we are trying to take restorative justice measures," concluded Listyo Sigit.
