Legal Efforts to Protect Privacy in Cyberspace Against the Surge in Personal Data Cases

Abstract

efforts are being taken to protect privacy in cyberspace, especially in the face of a surge in personal data cases. In the ever-evolving digital era, challenges related to data privacy are increasingly complex and increasing. One of the most popular and used digital platforms today is social media. One of the negative impacts is the occurrence of data leaks or privacy violations of social media users' personal data, which is caused by certain supporting factors. The aim of this research is to understand how existing regulations and law enforcement have contributed to protecting user privacy in the digital environment, especially in the face of increasing cases of personal data breaches. The research method used is a normative legal method using library sources.

enforcement and collaboration between governments, legal institutions, technology companies and society are essential to creating a safer digital environment. Existing regulations need to continue to be updated and adapted to the ever-changing developments in information technology. With strong collaboration between the government and increased awareness from the public, legal efforts to protect privacy in cyberspace will become more effective in dealing with the surge in personal data cases in this digital era.
