TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Indonesia’s government has confirmed that the Draft Law on Countering Disinformation and Foreign Propaganda is still in the discussion stage and has not yet been formally drafted.
State Secretary Minister Prasetyo Hadi emphasized that the plan remains a discourse rather than concrete legislation.
“The drafting hasn’t started yet. It’s still a discourse,” Prasetyo, a Gerindra Party politician, told reporters at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta on Thursday, January 15, 2026.
Prasetyo said the discussion has emerged from concerns over the accountability of information platforms and the need to ensure responsible information dissemination in society.
