- Abstract
There is a significant increase in criminal acts of insult or defamation through social media, making many parties again doubt the existence of these offense arrangements in the Information and Electronic Transaction Law. Although since the Law was enacted in 2008 and revisions have been made including Article 27 paragraph (3) regarding elements of offenses against insults or defamation in 2016, this regulation does not make this regulation clearer. The regulation related to the regulation is returned to the existence of the law itself which is seen through the purpose of the existence of the law itself, whether or not it is in accordance with the initial purpose of establishing the law regarding offenses against insults and defamation in the ITE Law. This study uses descriptive analysis method by providing an overview of the legal construction of defamation or defamation offenses according to the ITE Law and providing an analysis of the policy on criminalizing the offense of insulting or defamation.
