Rahmat Wibowo's legal notice 097 to Paper.id's operator over an anonymous forum account using its logo, which concedes the company's liability is 'not met' but says its silence will be treated as its 'official statement'

What this document is

A Surat Somasi (legal notice), subtitled Surat Peringatan Hukum (legal warning letter), reference no. 097/SOMASI/RW/XI/2026, dated Thursday, 12 November 2026, from Rahmat Wibowo of Bekasi, acting for himself without counsel. It is typed without a letterhead and runs to 15 pages, “Halaman 1 dari 15” to “Halaman 15 dari 15”: eleven pages of letter, a list of evidence, and the evidence itself. His WhatsApp number and signature are marked “disensor” (censored) in the copy shown here. He posted page 1 on Threads himself the same morning, tagging Paper.id’s account and announcing the somasi.

What it says

Addressees. (A) PT Pakar Digital Global, “operator of Paper.id”, for the attention of the board, legal division and HR, at its Kebon Jeruk address and support email, “taken from the official paper.id website, accessed 12 November 2026”. (B) “The owner of the Fomo forum account with the username ‘mainbonjersore’” (display name “Paper id”, using the Paper.id logo; “identity not yet known, confirmation requested through Party A”).

Copied to. The investigator of Unit I, Criminal Investigation, South Tangerang Police, for police report LP/B/2231/VII/2026/SPKT/Polres Tangerang Selatan/Polda Metro Jaya and inquiry order SP.Lidik/2535/VII/RES.1.14./2026.

Subject. A demand for confirmation within three days, and for deletion of content, an apology, a statement of position and corrective steps within seven days, over alleged written defamation, insult and corporate criminal liability.

Opening. He writes as “the injured party and the complainant” in LP/B/2231/VII/2026. Everything is “an allegation, subject to the presumption of innocence”, and he does “not state that PT Pakar Digital Global ordered or approved” the acts; he writes to the company “because the account appears bearing the company’s identity”.

I. The acts.

• B-1, 28 May 2026 (edited). A post titled “Apasih??” in the forum section “f/KawalRahmatWibowo”: “Yang mulai doxxing siapa / Yang mulai crab mentality siapa, dragging everyone down di Linkedin / Supaya bisa merasakan rasa sakit hatinya mamat ketika dipecat?” (Who started doxxing? Who started the crab mentality, dragging everyone down on LinkedIn, so they can feel Mamat’s hurt at being fired?), quoting another account: “Mamat the probation hatrick legend, cuma bertahan 2 bulan terus dipecat oleh 3 perusahaan berturut-turut!” (lasted only 2 months, then fired by 3 companies in a row). 577 views.
• B-3, 7 May 2026. A reply to his own comment, “dm w kalo mau tau orangnya siapa w g mau doxxing nama alumninya” (DM me if you want to know who it is, I don’t want to dox the alumnus’s name): “@ceogenz autis, you cant play normal and ODGJ at the same time … seek fucking help. Pergi ke RSJ, berobat gblk.”
• B-4, direct messages dated 6 May 2026. Including “Ayo mat somasi gw”, “ODGJ, ayo ke bonjer sini”, “Mamak lo nangis kali mat aslinya liat ODGJ lu” and “Rot in hell bro”.
• B-2, May 2026. “Gw kok belum nerima undangan sidangnya mat? Kirim ke gua lah.” (How come I haven’t received the hearing invitation, Mat? Send it to me.), offered “as evidence of state of mind, not as a stand-alone offence”.
• Harm. His honour attacked in a public forum linked to his name; his mental disability mocked with “ODGJ”, “autis” and “gila”; his family dragged in; repeated psychological pressure during May 2026.

II. Legal basis. Element tables for Article 433(2) with Article 441(1) (written defamation by information technology, up to 2 years or Rp66,666,666.67) for B-1, and Article 436 with Article 441(1) (minor insult, up to 8 months or Rp13,333,333.33) for B-3 and B-4, all marked “Ya” (met). Article 434 (slander) is included “as a normative marker, not a basis for reporting at present”. Under corporate criminal liability (Articles 45–50 and 121) he gives the company’s maximum fine as Rp2,000,000,000, then marks the employment link “cannot yet be concluded”, “within the scope of business” and “benefit to the corporation” “not met”, and “failure to prevent” “conditional”: “on the day this letter is made, PT Pakar Digital Global’s corporate criminal liability is not yet met and I do not allege it.” He adds civil claims under Articles 1365, 1367(3), 1372, 1373 and 1380 of the Civil Code, and says he will act before 6 May 2027.

III. Demands. (A) By Sunday, 15 November 2026, 17.00 WIB, written confirmation “by direct message to me (only via WhatsApp)”: receipt; whether the account owner is an officer, employee, partner, intern or other party linked to the company, with position and period; whether the company runs, permits or verified the account; and that it has preserved all relevant data, “account verification data, emails used, company network access logs and internal communications”. (B) By Thursday, 19 November 2026, 17.00 WIB: delete the posts; stop all messages, comments and posts mentioning or mocking him; a public apology by the account owner on Fomo; a formal written statement from the company that it does not condone the acts and has taken internal corrective steps; and handing the data to the investigator on formal request. The letter “contains no demand for money” from the company; his right to damages from the account owner “and any party later proven responsible” is reserved.

IV. Means of settlement. “Only through direct message to me, that is, only through WhatsApp.” “I do not provide face-to-face meetings.” Replies on Fomo, by email, or in posts or comments will not count.

V. Consequence of silence. If the company does not confirm by 15 November or act by 19 November, “I will consider that the company knows and does not deny that the account carries its identity, and that the account’s statements towards me (Evidence B-1 to B-4) are the company’s official statement towards me”, and he will put that to the investigator and, if needed, the court.

VI. Legal consequences. Without further notice: ask the investigator to assess the liability of the company and its officers under Articles 45–49; continue LP/B/2231/VII/2026 under Articles 433(2) and 436 with 441(1); file a civil suit naming the company as co-defendant or defendant “if the legal relationship is proven”; and ask the Fomo platform to preserve and remove the content.

VII. Closing. Sent “in good faith”. “If you do not yet have legal counsel … you are not required and are asked not to reply to this Somasi personally.” Signed “RAHMAT WIBOWO, Pihak yang Dirugikan, Bekasi, 12 November 2026”, “without counsel”. A list of evidence B-1 to B-4 and screenshots of each follow.

Observations

1. “Not met”, then “official statement”. By his own tables, nothing links the account to the company: the employment link “cannot yet be concluded”, and the business-scope and benefit elements are “not met”. He writes that he does “not allege” corporate liability. He still gives the company three days to answer by WhatsApp and says that otherwise he will treat an anonymous user’s insults as the company’s “official statement”, and tell the police so. A company is put on notice to identify a forum user, hand over “network access logs and internal communications”, and publish a statement, on pain of being treated as the author.
2. The account’s words are abusive. The messages he quotes, calling him “autis” and “ODGJ”, dragging in his mother and telling him to “rot in hell”, are insulting. That is between him and the account’s owner. What this letter does is take a dispute with an anonymous user to the company whose logo the user chose.
3. “I don’t want to dox”, or DM me for the name. He cites B-3 to show he “stated he did not want to do doxxing”. The comment he was replying to, his own, reads “dm w kalo mau tau orangnya siapa” (DM me if you want to know who it is). On the same day as this letter he shared an anonymous forum list naming 13 of his targets as “fraudsters and Hasidin”.
4. WhatsApp only, no meeting. He accepts replies “only via WhatsApp” and offers no face-to-face meeting. The same day he posted a private chat to mock Aqilah Saffanah’s request to discuss his notice in person.
5. Which police report? The letter rests on report LP/B/2231/VII/2026, filed on 17 July 2026 at South Tangerang Police. On 30 October he described the same report, with the same inquiry order, as his report against Petra Novandi Barus, in a notice to Petra’s employer. Two days before this letter he listed it among five reports with “name not written” for which he had received no progress letter (doc-20261110-001). The letter does not explain how a July report covers an account whose owner he says he cannot identify.
6. Employers again. It follows his blaming of five companies for their employees’ anonymous forum comments the day before. Here the only link to the company is a logo on an anonymous profile.

The police report and inquiry order are as Rahmat states them and have not been verified.
