JAKARTA - The government is currently drafting a Personal Data Protection Bill (RUU PDP). The good spirit of the government to protect people's personal data when surfing the internet needs to be supported.
Especially recently, there have been many cases of hacking and data theft, both from e-commerce accounts and public information stored in fintech companies and the KPU. The issue of digital data security that can be exploited by unscrupulous hackers is a serious concern for the government to immediately finalize the PDP Bill.
It's just that the public also needs to know what data will be protected, including all the possibilities that could cause confusion when this bill is passed. Where the state must ensure there is no other interest in data management.
