According to SAFEnet's monitoring, throughout 2024 there were 146 cases of violations of freedom of expression in Indonesia's digital sphere.

These cases involved 170 reported individuals or victims, an increase compared to 2023.

The platform most frequently cited in reports of criminalization of expression in Indonesia is social media, specifically Instagram.

There were also numerous similar attempts at criminalization of expression on TikTok, in mass media, and on Facebook, with the number of cases as shown in the graph.

"The ITE Law [Information and Electronic Transactions Law] is still frequently used as a tool to silence critical voices," stated SAFEnet in its report, *Situasi Hak-Hak Digital Indonesia 2024* (Situation of Digital Rights in Indonesia 2024).

"This has harmful consequences for victims, ranging from self-censorship and economic burdens to criminal penalties," it continued.
