Abstract

The existence of criminality such as online gambling in cyberspace is an inevitable fact. Online gambling contributes to poverty among Indonesians by financially destabilizing individuals who participate in it. This condition is seriously jeopardising Indonesia's digital sovereignty. The massiveness of online gambling in Indonesian cyberspace implies that digital sovereignty is very fragile and prone to be dominated by cyber actors who are against Indonesian law. Indonesia’s legal framework provides the government clear authority to eradicate online gambling. The legal framework supporting the eradication of online gambling in Indonesia is rooted in multiple laws and regulations that prohibit gambling and enforce restrictions on online activities. To discuss and analyse these problems, our study paper employed legal research methods, including legislative, conceptual, case, and comparative approaches. This study argue it is necessary to strengthen the content moderation instrument that has been regulated very generally in Indonesian legislation to eradicate online gambling from upstream. The form of moderation can also be conducted with a variety of techniques ranging from blocking, visibility reduction (demotion), delisting, and content ranking. The establishment of a cyber security and resilience law should be a first step by making content moderation an instrument to ensure cyber security and resilience.
