Taxi drivers in Indonesia held demonstrations in March 2016 to protest online ride-sharing services like Uber and GrabCar. In response, over 15,000 Indonesian internet users signed an online petition calling for traditional taxis to adapt to new technology. The government then proposed a solution where drivers for online transportation services must join cooperatives and the services' companies must establish a permanent presence in Indonesia. This would help ensure passenger safety and facilitate taxation while allowing the services to continue operating by partnering with existing transportation companies.

Avoiding ‘Cyber Nanny State’: Challenges of Social Media Regulation in Sri LankaNalaka Gunawardene
Keynote speech delivered by science writer and digital media analyst Nalaka Gunawardene at the Sri Lanka National IT Conference held in Colombo from 2 to 4 October 2018 (https://www.nitc.lk/2018/).
Summary:
With around a third of Sri Lanka’s 21 million people using at least one type of social media, the phenomenon is no longer limited to cities or English speakers. But as social media users increase and diversify, so do various excesses and abuses on these platforms: hate speech, fake news, identity theft, cyber bullying/harassment, and privacy violations among them.
Public discourse in Sri Lanka has been focused heavily on social media abuses by a relatively small number of users. In a balanced stock taking of the overall phenomenon, the multitude of substantial benefits should also be counted. Social media has allowed ordinary Lankans to share information, collaborate around common goals, pursue entrepreneurship and mobilise communities in times of elections or disasters. In a country where the mainstream media has been captured by political and business interests, social media remains the ‘last frontier’ for citizens to discuss issues of public interest. The economic, educational, cultural benefits of social media for the Lankan society have not been scientifically quantified as yet but they are significant – and keep growing by the year.
In this talk, I caution that social media regulation in the name of curbing excesses could easily be extended to crack down on political criticism and minority views that do not conform to majority orthodoxy. An increasingly insular and unpopular government – now in its last 18 months of its 5-year term – probably fears citizen expressions on social media.
Yet the current Lankan government’s democratic claims and credentials will be tested in how they respond to social media challenges: will that be done in ways that are entirely consistent with the country’s obligations under international human rights laws that have safeguards for the right to Freedom of Expression (FOE)? This is the crucial question.

Tantangan Perlindungan Privasi dan Keterbukaan InformasiICT Watch
Tantangan Perlindungan Privasi. Indonesia cukup tertinggal dalam diskursus perlindungan hak atas privasi terutama jika melihat kerangka legislasi dari perlindungan hak atas privasi, baik dari segi waktu maupun variasi perlindungannya. Walaupun perlindungan privasi sebenarnya sudah dikenal lama di Indonesia Setidaknya Kitab Undang – Undang Hukum Pidana memuat beberapa pasal tindak pidana yang terkait dengan privasi seperti larangan untuk membuka surat – surat, juga larangan memasuki tanah/properti pribadi, dan tindak pidana lain yang terkait dengan kejahatan jabatan.
Perlindungan Hak Atas Privasi di InternetICT Watch
Perlindungan Hak Atas Privasi di Internet. Isu mengenai pentingnya perlindungan hak atas privasi di Indonesia mulai menguat seiring dengan makin meningkatnya jumlah pengguna telepon seluler dan internet dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. Sejumlah kasus yang mencuat, terutama yang memiliki keterkaitan dengan kebocoran data pribadi seseorang, yang berbuntut pada aksi penipuan, kian menguatkan wacana perihal urgensi penguatan perlindungan hak atas privasi.
Perlindungan Data Pribadi di Indonesia. Usulan Pelembagaan Kebijakan dari Perspektif Hak Asasi Manusia. Meningkatnya pemanfaatan teknologi internet, selain membuka banyak kesempatan dan peluang pengembangan, termasuk kemudahan dalam pertukaran informasi, pada sisi lain juga telah membuka kerawanan baru terjadinya intervensi terhadap privasi. Peredaran data dalam format digital yang tidak lagi mengenal batas ruang dan teritorial menjadikan semakin mudahnya data‐data pribadi seseorang terpapar atau dipindahtangankan secara semena‐mena, tanpa kontrol dari pemilik data.

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.

1. Taxi Drivers Went on Demonstration,
Netizens Signed a Petition, Gov Offers Solution
On 14 March 2016, the Indonesian Ministry
of Transportation sent a letter to the Ministry of
Communication and Informatics (MCIT),
calling the latter to block Uber and Grab Car
applications for both transport services are not
an Indonesian permanent establishment, have
no operation license, and because they use
private vehicle as a public transport. The letter
was submitted on the same day when
thousands of taxi drivers held demonstration
in Jakarta.
On 22 March 2016, the second round of
demonstration was held at the downtown of
Jakarta. Indonesian netizens responded to it
by ling an online petition at Change.org
which essentially called the employers,
owners and drivers of conventional taxi to
adapt with the newest technology and try to
understand consumer's behavior in digital era.
The petition has been signed by more than 15
thousand people in 24 hours after uploaded.
The CIT Minister took the attitude to not block
the application services and immediately held a
coordination meeting with the Minister of
Transportation and Minister of Cooperatives and
Small Medium Business. The government then
suggested a solution:
- The drivers or owners of vehicles that are
used for online application-based public
transport must join a cooperative, through
which they can apply for vehicle technical
and road eligibility test to ensure passengers'
safety, which tests are actually mandated in
the Transportation Law.
- Online application service providers must
have a Permanent Establishment in
Indonesia. This requirement aims to ensure
protection for consumers as well as to ease
the government with regard to taxation
matters. GRAB CAR has opted to cooperate
with taxi companies and car rental
companies. UBER, on the other hand, chose
to partner with car rental companies.

Indonesian Multistakeholder Monthly Brieng on Digital Policy”
2. After a long advocacy
process of more than 6 (six)
years by a number of civil
s o c i e t y e l e m e n t s i n
Indonesia, on 14 March
2016, the parliament and
government eventually
agreed to revise the Law on
Electronic Information and
Transaction (EIT Law). The
agreement was afrmed in a
work meeting between
C o m m i s s i o n I o f t h e
Parliament with the Ministry
of Communication and
Informatics (MCIT) at the
Parliament Building, Jakarta.
The Government proposed
for a reduction of the
m a x i m u m c r i m i n a l
punishment in Article 27 (3)
of the EIT Law on defamation
on internet from 6 (six) years
to 4 (four) years. The article
will also be emphasized as a
complaint offence and shall
refer to the Penal Code which
governs about the principles
o f d e f a m a t i o n f o r i t s
interpretation in order to
p r e v e n t a n y m u l t i -
interpretation.
Thus, online expression will
not become a pretext for law
enforcement to arrest the
persons responsible, even
when it is based on a
complaint led by a party to
the law enforcement.
Data from SAFEnet shows
that since being put into effect
in 2008, the article has been
numerously used to suppress
freedom of expression of the
internet users.
Previously in Public Hearing
on 3 February 2016, ICT
Watch together with other civil
society elements such as
Yayasan Satu Dunia and
Institute for Criminal Justice
Reform (ICJR) submitted a set
of recommendations to
C o m m i s s i o n I o f t h e
Parliament with regard to how
the EIT Law should be revised.
The recommendations include
a statement about the
importance of reviewing an
offence or a criminal rules in
the EIT Law, as well as the
need to incorporate it into the
Penal Code.
Rather than just reducing the
criminal punishment in Article
27 paragraph (3), it will be
more appropriate if the article
and other criminal articles in
the EIT Law are completely
removed and merged into the
Penal Code.
Finally, Article on Online Defamation
is to be Revised! (after 6 years of advocacy)
Rather than just reducing the criminal punishment in Article 27
paragraph (3), it will be more appropriate if the article and
other criminal articles in the EIT Law are completely removed
and merged into the Penal Code.
one of the early campaign visual material
revisions EIT Law conducted netizens Indonesia
The Southeast Asia Freedom of Expression
Network (SAFEnet), which main duty is to record
and advocate criminalization cases relating to
freedom of internet expression in Indonesia in
particular, held a workshop entitled “Empowering
Freedom of Expression Defenders” on 17-19
March 2016 in Jakarta.
During the second annual workshop, the material
given to the 20 Indonesian volunteers are:
1. Human Rights and Freedom of Expression on
the Internet
2. Women and Privacy Protection on the Internet
3. Online Defamation Cases Handling
4. Case Investigation Training
5. Indonesia's Internet Policy
6. Theory of Change
With the increasing volunteers' capacity and
capability, it is expected that SAFEnet will be
able to carry out its duties more solidly both in
Indonesia as well as in other countries across
Southeast Asia:
1. As the online broadcast and mapping
media on freedom of expression;
2. As a hub in the mobilization of network and
freedom of expression movement;
3. As the provider of support and solidarity
to the victims of freedom of
expression violation.
Amid the overly free atmosphere on the cyber
world and the netizens' tendency to throw
insults, spread hoaxes, and slanders,
children need certain protection from things
that might negatively affect their mental and
psychological development. It is at this point
that digital literacy becomes even more
crucial to be taught by parents and teachers
to the children.
The issue of children and social media was
discussed in a health journalists forum
recently. The forum, named Ngobras
(Ngobrol Bareng Sahabat/a Chat with
Friends) was held at the Nutrifood Inspiring
Center, Jakarta, on 11 March 2016.
One of the source persons, Widuri from ICT
Watch, said that the internet is just like a
market or a mall where children can get lost.
Every sensible person will be really careful in
taking their children to both places. Internet
is no different. Parents must not let their
children to interact and express themselves
to freely on the internet, as they still need
parental guidance and oversight in many
respects.
“Despite the parental control application that
is commonly available nowadays, which
helps to prevent what children can see on the
internet, communication between children
and parents is indispensable. Don't just rely
on the application. Instead, every parent
must develop a more open communication
with their children, including when it comes
to the cyber world ethics,” she added.
