JAKARTA - The NasDem Party presidential candidate, Anies Baswedan, wants the ITE Law to be revised. The reason is, the rubber article on defamation in this rule is often used to drag critics to legal channels.
"In my opinion, these rubber articles must be revised because it will silence freedom of expression," Anies said in a discussion at Taman Ismail Marzuki, Central Jakarta, Thursday, August 24.
The former governor of DKI Jakarta is of the view that criticism does not need to be seen as a criminal activity, but rather as a lesson. Because, he continued, government policies should be implemented through common sense, based on data, and based on research science.
"So I was criticized, don't be angry, just answer the criticism. At that time I answered criticism, let the public judge, which makes more sense? The critics or those who gave the answer," said Anies.
Anies said that the state implemented legal principles in the ITE Law to protect privacy and data, not to make people afraid to reveal the reality and views.
"We need the ITE Law to protect such as data confidentiality, people's privacy, protection of information, that's what we need," said Anies.
"We want freedom of expression to be maintained. So that when there are criticism speech conveying facts, it does not lead to crime. For example, reporting road problems, reporting services is not good, it must be protected, respected," he continued.

Anies gave an example, the criticisms conveyed through murals should be considered a process of expressing struggles. Therefore, during his tenure as Governor of DKI, Anies said that he gave artists space to create a mural of criticism as a form of their expression.
"Those content and Indonesian language found its muscles in the era of independence, the expression that used to start in Indonesian turned into a muscular expression and the muscular expression was written on mural walls at that time. So, don't be hostile to the mural, it became one of the tools during the struggle of that time," he added.
