The Authority of Indonesian Broadcasting Commission in Selecting Content That is Suspected to Contain the Pornographic Elements in Netflix Streaming Platform in Indonesia

Abstract

Netflix has not yet complied with the existing regulations in Indonesia. The films shown on Netflix have a wide variety of genres and content. There are several film contents that Netflix has shown which contain pornographic elements. This has created a desire from the Government and Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI) to monitor the content on Netflix. This research method used normative legal research. Until now, Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI) does not have the authority to supervise pornographic content that was broadcast by Netflix, this is because Netflix, which is a digital broadcaster, has not been regulated in the Broadcasting Law. Because no institution can oversee the operation of Netflix in Indonesia, several ways can be done to minimize the circulation of pornographic content in Netflix, one of which is by involving the Film Censorship Institute (LSF) before Netflix films are broadcasted in Indonesia. Seeing that there are no regulations that specifically regulate the operation of Netflix in Indonesia, the author's suggestion is, so that the Indonesia Broadcasting Commission (KPI) and involve the Film Censorship (LSF) to conduct selection and censorship of films to be broadcast by Netflix.
