Even controlling the factors exceeding their use, often escapes the reach of stakeholders and policy makers. All online activities can be observed and logged.

There is a need to re-enforce the regulations by the policymakers to protect Indonesian citizens, especially after the establishment of the National Cyber and Code Agency (BSSN). Thus, the government role plays an important share in the process of the development of ICT, and should not leave the policies behind for not way too late to be set. |
