Law Enforcement Review of Internet Access Restrictions in Papua

Actions to limit internet access in Papua by the Government to quell mass demonstrators in Papua have become a polemic to this day. This research focuses not only on how the process of taking these actions and the side effects, namely human rights issues, but also has implications for aspects of law enforcement that are in the spotlight. This research uses normative juridical research with primary legal material in the form of laws and regulations combined with analytical descriptive studies. The results of the study found that there is no basis for government legitimacy to limit internet access, which may be limited to restrictions on access to electronic information (social media) containing violations of the law, so apart from being said that the action violates human rights (HAM), law enforcement that can be applied to the government both in the fields of administrative law, civil law, and criminal law as long as the elements are fulfilled.
