Reasons MK Rejects Lawsuit 87 on Expiring Internet Quota

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Constitutional Court (MK) has provided an explanation regarding its decision not to accept the lawsuit on expiring internet quotas under case number 87/PUU-XXIV/2026.

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

“In this regard, the petitioner only mentioned Article 24C paragraph 1 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and Article 10 paragraph 1 letter a as last amended by Law 7/2020 on the Constitutional Court,” reads the MK’s decision, which was read out on Tuesday (12/5/2026).

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

Based on this explanation, the MK has no doubt that the petitioner’s application is unclear or obscure (obscuur).

“The petitioner’s application is declared inadmissible,” stated the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court, Suhartoyo, during the hearing.

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