Regulations of the Right to Be Forgotten for Minor Criminal Offenders in Indonesia's Digital Environment

The advancement of information technology has made personal data online difficult to erase, posing legal challenges for privacy and the enforcement of the right to be forgotten. This situation poses significant challenges for minor criminal offenders who have completed their sentences but continue to face social stigma due to persistent negative digital footprints. One emerging legal concept addressing this issue is the Right to Be Forgotten, this gives people the option to have their personal information erased if it's outdated, wrong, or acquired illegally. With a focus on juvenile offenders, this research intends to analyze how the Right to Be Forgotten is governed by Indonesian law. Using a legislative methodology that centers on Personal Data Protection Law Number 27 of 2022, the analysis concludes that, notwithstanding the official recognition of this right, its implementation with respect to minor offenders remains unclear and requires a more explicit legal framework that balances individual rights with the public interest.
