Constitutional Court Rejects One Lawsuit on Expiring Internet Quotas, Two Others Proceed

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Constitutional Court (MK) has decided not to accept petition number 87/PUU-XXIV/2026, which relates to expiring quotas under Article 71 paragraph 2 of Law Number 6 of 2023 on Job Creation.

“The petition of the petitioner is declared not receivable,” stated Chief Justice Suhartoyo during the hearing held on Tuesday (12/5/2026).

In its legal considerations, the MK stated that the petitioner did not elaborate on the legal basis for the Constitutional Court’s authority in examining the requested article.

Similarly, in the legal standing section, the petitioner was said to have only listed five points, namely constitutional rights, specific and real harm, actual and potential, causal relationship, and restoration of harm.

“However, these five points were not linked to the substance that should have been elaborated regarding the requirements for constitutional rights harm in the legal standing section,” the MK wrote.

Therefore, the MK deemed the petitioner’s legal standing and the substance of the petition not to be considered further.

However, two cases related to expiring quotas are still ongoing for the agenda of hearing expert testimonies.
