Abstract

This article examines law enforcement on speech in the digital space by linking Article 27 paragraph (3) of the ITE Law to Articles 310-311 of the Criminal Code in accordance with Constitutional Court Decision No. 50/PUU-VI/2008, as well as assessing the role of police discretion in the framework of restorative justice. The normative analysis focuses on the integration of criminal regulations, the National Police Chief's guideline SE/2/II/2021, and judicial policies that prioritize restoration. The findings show that the restorative approach—mediation, apology, and reparation—is more in line with the objectives of protecting dignity and the principle of ultimum remedium. Consequently, law enforcement that prioritizes restoration can reduce conflict escalation, reduce the burden of cases, and strengthen public trust. Recommendations are directed at operational standards for social media-based cases, improving investigators' competence on human rights and digital evidence issues, structural collaboration with platforms, and expanding public digital literacy. The theoretical implications affirm the relevance of the idea of law as social engineering, while the practical implications require tiered oversight to ensure consistent, transparent, and fair implementation.
