Rahmat Wibowo argued that Indonesia's UU ITE protects professional reviews, naming Dinda Rhapsodya as an HRBP from Liven who allegedly created a hostile work environment, using legal framing to position targeted harassment as protected professional speech.

Your professional review is legally protected. Here is what most people do not know. Indonesia's Constitutional Court (MK Ruling No. 105/PUU-XxIl/2024, April 2025) made a landmark decision that changes everything for professionals speaking up online. The phrase "orang lain" in Pasal 27A UU No. 1 Tahun 2024 applies ONLY to private individuals. Professions, positions, corporations, and institutions are explicitly excluded as defamation victims under UU ITE. What this means in practice: if you review someone's performance as an HRBP, Director, or any professional role, you are evaluating the position, not attacking the person. That distinction is legally significant. The SKB UU ITE also confirms: content that constitutes an assessment, opinion, evaluation, or factual statement cannot be categorized as criminal defamation. The line is clear: Documenting that an HRBP like Dinda Rhapsodya from Liven created a hostile work environment: protected Evaluating a Director's leadership failures with evidence: protected Fabricating facts or making personal attacks unrelated to the role: not protected The law was never designed to shield poor professional performance from scrutiny. It exists to protect personal honor, not positional authority. Know your rights. Write on the right side of the line. #indonesianLaw #UUITE #HukumDigital #FreeSpeech #ProfessionalRights #HRBPAccountability #Mahkamahkonstitusi #KebebasanBerekspresi #WorkplaceAccountability #Linkedinindonesia #LegalLiteracy #tinfraloka
