JAKARTA - Member of Commission I DPR RI M. Farhan emphasized the importance of the Bill on Personal Data Protection (RUU PDP). According to him, recent cases of leakage and misuse of personal data are not only crucial and critical anymore, but almost an emergency.
"I said it was close to an emergency, because every week there are news regarding the leakage of personal data," said Farhan, Wednesday, September 1.
Farhan explained that at first the leaks were only from private parties, such as Bukalapak and Tokopedia. However, when state property such as BRI Life leaks and then BPJS, then this is very worrying. to fix this problem by passing the PDP Bill.
"As representatives of the people, are we angry, yes very angry. But if you're just angry, then the question is, then what? Therefore, we must together find a solution that fits, and the most appropriate now is the legal basis for using the ITE Law which ends in punishment," he said. then the ITE law can be strictly applied. Because if it is implemented, it will revoke the PSE permit or the operation of the electronic system from BRI Life and BPJS Kesehatan, you can imagine if the PSE is revoked, there will be millions of people who cannot be served by social security, all of them will be suspended.
“The next option is criminalization, so whoever is responsible for controlling the data there until it leaks is immediately given to the Criminal Investigation Department to investigate, then goes to court and prison. But it doesn't answer the question whether we will be jointly responsible for maintaining this personal data, so we all agree that in the PDP Bill there must be a data protection authority which will later give birth to a new profession, namely data protection officer, "said Farhan.
