Implikasi Yuridis Penutupan Konten Digital dalam Perspektif Nasional & Internasional

Abstract

The escalating phenomenon of digital content takedowns presents an intricate web of implications across both national and international spheres. This study delves into the multifaceted impacts of such actions, ranging from the blocking of social media platforms to restrictions on specific information access. It meticulously analyzes the ensuing consequences for freedom of expression, digital economic innovation, and cyber sovereignty. Domestically, content takedowns can potentially ignite tensions between governmental authorities and civil liberties, curtail public access to information, and impede the growth of local digital ecosystems. Conversely, from an international standpoint, this practice raises critical questions concerning cross-border jurisdiction, global data flows, and universal human rights norms. This research adopts a multidisciplinary approach, integrating analyses from cyber law, digital economics, and international relations to provide a comprehensive overview. The findings indicate that while content takedowns are frequently justified by national security or social stability concerns, their ripple effects can erode public trust, hinder
international cooperation and even exacerbate internet fragmentation. Consequently, there is an imperative need for a balanced and transparent regulatory framework, one that can uphold national sovereignty without compromising the principles of openness and global connectivity.
