On 6 December 2022, the Indonesian Parliament adopted the Criminal Code Bill, expanding the classification of crime types and strengthening the government's control over online speech. The new Code also applies to online acts whose consequences are manifested in Indonesian territory. Further, it establishes a range of specific offenses that can be committed by means of information technology, such as insults against government figures and institutions, inciting violence or hate crimes, providing the opportunity to commit crimes, and spreading unlawfully recorded images. The law will come into force in three years after its signing and official promulgation.
