        "content": "<p>The development of digital platforms, streaming services,\nmultiplatform media, and artificial intelligence (AI) is considered to\nhave transformed the national broadcasting landscape, necessitating an\nupdate to existing regulations. The government and the Indonesian House\nof Representatives (DPR RI) are currently discussing a revision of Law\nNumber 32 of 2002 on Broadcasting to align the rules with changes in the\ndigital media ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Chairman of Commission I of the DPR RI, Dave Akbarshah Fikarno\nLaksono, stated that the regulatory update aims to ensure the\nbroadcasting legal system remains relevant to changes in the production,\ndistribution, and consumption patterns of information by the public.\n\u201cDigitalisation, the internet, and digital platforms, including\nartificial intelligence, require our laws to adapt to prevent a\nregulatory vacuum, while protecting the public interest and the nation\u2019s\ndigital sovereignty,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dave, broadcasting regulations are no longer sufficient\nto govern just television and radio. The development of digital\nplatforms has changed how the public accesses and disseminates\ninformation, requiring rules that can accommodate various forms of\nbroadcasting services. He explained that the revision of the\nBroadcasting Law is directed at creating regulatory parity between\nconventional broadcasting institutions and digital platforms. This is\nexpected to provide legal certainty for industry players and allow them\nto operate in a fairer business climate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe draft Broadcasting Bill provides regulation for both\nconventional and multiplatform broadcasting. Its main objective is to\ncreate fair arrangements for all broadcasting operators, thereby\nestablishing an equal playing field between conventional broadcasters\nand digital platforms,\u201d he said. The discussion on the revision also\nincludes strengthening the institutional capacity of the Indonesian\nBroadcasting Commission (KPI), expanding the scope of supervision,\nreinforcing public broadcasting institutions, updating advertising\nprovisions, and adjusting the Broadcasting Code of Conduct and Programme\nStandards.<\/p>\n<p>Dave stated that the regulatory update is expected to maintain the\ncontinuity of the national broadcasting legal system while providing\ncertainty for industry players facing media convergence and the\nadvancement of digital technology. He added that adaptive regulation is\nhoped to support better media governance, strengthen the competitiveness\nof the national broadcasting industry, and maintain a balance between\ntechnological innovation, protection of the public interest, and\ninformation diversity.<\/p>",
