Abstract

General Background: The rapid evolution of digital technology and social media platforms necessitates robust legal frameworks to protect individuals from potential misuse of personal data. Specific Background: This study specifically evaluates TikTok's provisions, policies, and relevant Indonesian laws, including the Electronic Information and Transactions Law and the Personal Data Protection Law, to assess their effectiveness in safeguarding individuals from social media abuse. Knowledge Gap: Despite existing regulations, there is limited analysis on how TikTok's policies align with these laws and their implications for individual protection. Aims: The primary objective is to analyze the effectiveness of TikTok's regulations in conjunction with Indonesian legal frameworks to enhance individual protection against data misuse in the digital age. Results: The research reveals that while Indonesian laws have significant potential to provide effective protection, TikTok's terms of service present limitations that may hinder accountability in cases of data abuse. Novelty: This study introduces a normative legal analysis of TikTok's policies, highlighting the need for legal adaptations to address emerging challenges posed by digital technology and social media. Implications: The findings underscore the necessity for legislative updates and the strengthening of TikTok's policies to ensure comprehensive protection for individuals, fostering a safer environment in the digital landscape. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the interplay between digital platform regulations and individual rights within the evolving context of social media in Indonesia.

  1. Evaluates TikTok's policies and Indonesian data protection laws.
