Q & A

What is the main issue discussed in the script regarding the new regulation on broadcasting?

The script discusses the new draft of the broadcasting law (RUU Penyiaran) that has been proposed and is currently being debated in the parliament. The main issue is that the draft expands the definition of broadcasting to include digital platforms, which could lead to stricter regulations and censorship on content available on OTT platforms.

What is the concern about the expanded definition of broadcasting in the new draft law?

The concern is that the new definition could encompass not only traditional broadcasting but also on-demand digital platforms, potentially leading to the same strict regulations being applied to user-generated content and streaming services.

What are the four main problems identified with the draft RUU?

The four main problems are: 1) The expanded definition of broadcasting, 2) Absurd regulations that apply different technological logics equally, 3) The potential infringement on freedom of expression and journalism, and 4) Unclear definitions that could lead to broad and possibly inappropriate application of the law.

Why is the script's author against the draft RUU being passed as it stands?

The author believes the draft RUU should be rejected due to its potential to stifle creativity, limit freedom of expression, and impose unreasonable censorship on digital content, including horror films and investigative journalism.

What is the potential consequence of the draft RUU for horror films on OTT platforms?

The draft RUU could lead to a ban on horror films on OTT platforms because they often contain elements of mysticism, violence, and other themes that the draft law deems inappropriate for broadcasting.

How does the draft RUU affect the traditional TV broadcasting compared to digital platforms?

Traditional TV broadcasting is based on a schedule, whereas digital platforms offer on-demand viewing. The draft RUU attempts to apply the same regulations to both, disregarding the differences in technology and user experience.

What is the criticism regarding the KPI's (Indonesian Broadcasting Commission) role in the draft RUU?

The criticism is that the KPI would gain the power to approve and verify the content for broadcasting, which could lead to excessive control and censorship, similar to the role of a film censorship board.

How does the draft RUU potentially infringe on freedom of expression and journalism?

The draft RUU includes provisions that could limit investigative journalism and require content to adhere to certain standards set by the KPI, which may conflict with the independence and integrity of journalistic work.

What is the concern about the composition of the KPI commissioners in relation to the draft RUU?

The concern is that many KPI commissioners are not from the journalism field, which could lead to a lack of understanding and consideration for press freedom and the nuances of journalistic work.

What is the potential impact of the draft RUU on user-generated content platforms like YouTube and TikTok?

The draft RUU could potentially extend its regulations to user-generated content platforms, which may lead to increased censorship and control over what users can post and share.

What is the script's suggestion for a better approach to regulating digital content?

The script suggests that any regulation for digital content should be aimed at fostering industry growth and providing broad benefits to society, rather than imposing restrictive censorship.

🎥 Censorship of Horror Films on OTT Platforms

The script discusses the new regulation in Indonesia that requires all digital content, including horror films, to be approved by the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI) before being uploaded to OTT platforms. The speaker criticizes the revision of the broadcasting law (RUU Penyiaran) being debated in the parliament, which aims to expand the definition of broadcasting to include on-demand digital platforms. This could potentially regulate platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, affecting freedom of expression and the diversity of content available to viewers.

📜 Critique of the Draft Broadcasting Law and its Implications

This paragraph delves into the problems with the draft Broadcasting Law, highlighting four main issues. The law's broad definition of broadcasting could encompass various digital platforms, leading to absurd regulations that treat traditional TV and digital platforms the same, despite their different technologies and viewer expectations. The law imposes strict content rules, such as bans on showing violence, drugs, alcohol, and gambling, which would severely limit the types of films and series available on digital platforms. It also touches on the potential impact on investigative journalism and the risk of KPI gaining too much control over content approval.

10:08

🤔 Ambiguity in Defining Digital Broadcasting Platforms and Content

The speaker points out the circular definitions within the draft law, which fail to clearly distinguish between traditional broadcasting and digital content. The law seems to target OTT platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime, but there is confusion over what constitutes 'content broadcast' and who is considered a 'digital broadcasting platform operator.' The vagueness could lead to the regulation of user-generated content platforms, expanding KPI's authority beyond its intended scope and potentially infringing on democratic values and freedom of expression.

📝 The Need for a Balanced Approach to Digital Content Regulation

The final paragraph emphasizes the necessity of revising the Broadcasting Law to better accommodate the digital age while fostering industry growth and benefiting society. The speaker argues that regulations should encourage the development of the broadcasting industry and provide economic, cultural, social, and psychological benefits to the public, rather than imposing a set of restrictions that could stifle creativity and diversity.

Transcripts

nanti di OTT enggak bisa dong tuh Lu nonton film-film horor kayak KKN

di Desa Penari, Pengabdi Setan dan film-film horor lainnya

jadi nanti nih

konten-konten yang mau diupload ke ruang digital misalnya ke platform OTT harus

dapat stempel dulu dari KPI baru boleh diupload

ini kan aneh banget ya

ini mah udah orde baru strikes back guys

guys guys guys guys guys kita baru

banget dapat info A1 nih bahwa revisi undang-undang penyiaran atau RUU penyiaran

lagi dibahas sama DPR sekarang kalau kalian lihat di website DPR terakhir

dibahas tuh padahal tahun 2020 lah tiba-tiba sekarang udah ada aja tuh

draft ruu-nya terakhir keluar tuh Oktober 2023 kemarin nah Biasanya nih

kalau regulasi dibahasnya diam-diam isinya aneh dan ternyata setelah kami

ngintip-ngintip isi ruunya beneran aneh jadi menurut kami draft RUU ini harus

ditolak Kenapa draft RUU ini harus ditolak?

Sebenarnya ada banyak masalahnya nih draft RUU ini tapi setidaknya ada empat

masalah utama yang mau kami bahas pada video kali ini nah sebelum ke

masalah-masalah yang lebih detail kita mulai dulu nih dari pangkal masalahnya

dari asal muasal si masalahnya itu sendiri jadi pangkal masalahnya adalah

undang-undang ini memperluas definisi penyiaran dari yang tadinya penyiaran

itu adalah transmisi sinyal menggunakan spektrum elektromagnetik yang dapat

diterima secara bersamaan itu yang ada di undang-undang penyiaran existing

sekarang dengan adanya RUU ini penyiaran itu definisinya menjadi transmisi sinyal

menggunakan spektrum elektromagnetik lainnya untuk dapat diterima secara

bersamaan dan atau Nah ini nih guys dapat diakses kembali oleh masyarakat

yang mana klausul dapat diakses kembali itu artinya adalah on dememand itu

logikanya platform digital baik otit maupun ugc nah lalu konsekuensinya apa

nih guys kalau definisi penyaran diperluas konsekuensi ya adalah selain

mengatur soal lembaga penyiaran konvensional seperti TV publik TV swasta

TV berlangganan dan TV komunitas RUU ini juga akan mengatur soal platform

penyiaran digital terus platform digital mana aja nih yang bakal diatur oleh RUU

ini sebenarnya enggak ada indikasi kuat sih bahwa platform ugc seperti YouTube

tiktok Instagram dan lain-lain itu bakal diatur indikasi kuatnya RUU ini bakal

mengatur platform ott nah tapi nanti kita kasih plot Twist yang seru dan

kocak nih guys di akhir nah Terus masalahnya di mana nih masalahnya

aturannya absurd guys dua teknologi yang logikanya berbeda tapi logika

peraturannya disamain misalnya nih kita lihat dulu dari TV tradisional TV

tradisional itu logikanya adalah logika keserempakan artinya tontonan-tontonan

tayangnya itu serempak di jam yang udah pasti kalau di TV lo SpongBob tayang jam

0. ya di TV gue juga SpongBob tayangnya jam .00 dan biasanya jam .00 nih anak

kecil nonton makanya aturan di TV itu lebih ketat dan diatur sedemikian rupa

biasanya nah kalaut atau platform digital lainnya logikanya kan beda gitu

lu jam mau nonton SpongBob atau nonton pcky blinders juga bisa gitu agensi kita

sebagai individu itu lebih besar kalau di platform digital kita bisa menyaring

dan memilih tontonan lebih bebas dibandingin di TV tradisional misalnya

di RUU ini logika pengaturannya disamain padahal logika teknologinya

berbeda terus Apa konsekuensi dari pangkal masalah ini konsekuensi yang

pertama adalah aturan bagi platform digital itu jadi lebih dan enggak masuk

akal nih kalian harus lihat pasal 56 ayat 2 isi siaran dan konten siaran

enggak boleh misalnya menayangkan narkoba alkohol perjudian dan rokok itu

berarti enggak boleh tuh ada film-film yang nayangin adegan-adegan yang berbau

ada alkohol ada judi ada rokok dan seterusnya terus selain narkoba alkohol

rokok dan lain-lain enggak boleh juga nih ada unsur mistik nah artinya apa

nanti di ott enggak bisa dong Tuh Lu nonton film-film horor kayak kakak yang

di desa penari pengapdi setan dan film-film horor

lainnya ini kan aneh juga ya terus selain horor enggak boleh juga ada

Kekerasan ini kalau enggak ada kekerasan juga enggak bisa nih nonton-nonton film

action film superhero yang isinya kan banyak pukul-pukulan banyak

piting-pitingan dan seterusnya Nah kalau kayak gini coba gua tanya ke lu semua

film yang bisa lolos apaan Dah paling cuman Dora doang tuh yang bisa lu tonton

jadinya bahkan ada salah satu ayat lagi tuh di pasal 56 yang sangat karet sih

menurut gue karena ada larangan penayangan Suatu profesi atau tokoh yang

memiliki perilaku atau gaya hidup negatif yang berpotensi ditiru oleh

masyarakat Coba ini yang dimaksud perilaku atau gaya hidup negatif Tuh apa

Kan karet banget ya ini bisa aja nih gua bilang rapat BPR tuh perilaku atau gaya

hidup negatif karena kan sering banget tuh ada yang tidur lah ada yang berantem

ada yang lempar-lemparan kursi I engak sih Nah Lanjut nih guys masalah yang

kedua yaitu KPI bakal punya wewenang untuk ngeluarin yang namanya tanda lulus

akan isi siaran dan mewajibkan penyelenggara platform digital untuk

melakukan verifikasi konten siaran lagi-lagi ini rada enggak jelas nih

maksudnya apa dua barang ini nih tapi kalau kita boleh coba telaah atau

nafsirin ini kayaknya KPI mau dibikin kayak lembaga sensor film atau lsf jadi

nanti nih konten-konten yang mau diupload ke ruang digital misalnya ke

platform ott harus dapat stampel dulu dari KPI baru boleh di-upload ini kan

aneh banget ya Selain larangan-larangan yang absurd ada lagi nih guys aturan

yang bersangkut Paud atau berkaitan dengan dunia jurnalisme ini adalah

masalah yang ketiga kalau kita lihat Aturan ini bau-baunya sih emang kayaknya

DPR dan pemerintah nih lagi getol banget mau mengekang kebebasan berekspresi dan

kritik dari masyarakat ataupun kritik dari pers kalian lihat nih masih di

pasal 56 pasal yang tadi ada larangan mengenai penayangan eksklusif

jurnalistik investigasi lah ini konyol kan masa enggak boleh sih ada penayangan

jurnalisme investigasi di TV dan platform digital ada juga nih masih

berkaitan dengan jurnalisme pasal 127 yang bunyinya konten jurnalisme harus

tunduk pada P3 Sis intinya nah P3 Sis ini adalah aturannya KPI kalau di UU

penyiaran 2002 UU penyiaran Yang ada sekarang nih jurnalisme itu harusnya

tunduk kepada kode etik jurnalisme bukan kepada B3 Sis jadi tunduknya kepada UU

pers yang mana Di dalam UU pers diatur bahwa lembaga yang berhak mengatur dan

mengawasi dunia jurnalisme adalah dewan pers n Nah dengan adanya klausul ini di

dalam RUU penyiaran maka lembaga yang berhak mengatur atau mengawasi dunia

jurnalisme itu adalah KPI kalau ini nih masalah tumpang tindih wewenang guys

karena ada dua institusi yang punya wewenang yang sama ditambah lagi kalau

kita lihat komposisi komisionar KPI banyak yang bukan dari kalangan pers tuh

yang artinya ya kayaknya sih enggak ngerti-ngerti amat soal isu kebebasan

pers terus nih masalah yang keempat Guys kita bikin pertanyaan dulu sebenarnya

yang mau diatur di ruang digital ini siapa aja sih dan konten-konten seperti

apa aja sih ini jawabannya masih ngeeblur guys tapi kalau berdasarkan

analisis kami indikasi kuatnya memang yang diatur adalah platform ott seperti

netflix video Amazon Prime dan seterusnya kita coba main

detektif-detektifan nih kita mulai dulu nih guys Dari subjek-subjek mana aja

yang bakal diatur oleh RUU ini kita lihat di pasal 1 ayat 15 ada definisi

mengenai platform digital penyiaran ini tuh adalah sarananya teknologinya terus

di pasal selanjutnya pasal 1 ayat 16 ada definisi mengenai penyelenggara platform

digital penyiaran ini adalah perusahaan atau individu yang menyelenggarakan

konten siaran ini mah kalau kita ikut kelas logika nih ini namanya definisi

sirkular yaitu ketika sebuah penjelasan memuat istilah yang ingin dijelaskan

hasilnya jadi enggak jelas Maksudnya apaan gitu kan tapi okelah kita anggap

aja kita berasumsi aja bahwa penyelenggara platform itu adalah

perusahaan atau individu yang memiliki dan mengelola platform digital Oke

selanjutnya kita geser ke persoalan konten-konten mana aja yang bisa diatur

lewat RUU ini dalam konteks ini mereka punya istilah isi siaran dan konten

siaran ajaib enggak sih bedanya Apaan tuh Nah ini bedanya bukan cuman soal

Bahasa doang guys isi siaran itu adalah tayangan yang muncul di TV konvensional

sementara konten siaran itu muncul di platform digital nah terus apa tuh yang

dimaksud dengan konten siaran konten siaran kalau kita mengacu ke pasal 1

ayat 17 adalah materi siaran digital yang diproduksi oleh penyelenggara

platform digital penyiaran dan atau penyelenggara platform teknologi

penyiaran lainnya Mari kita Perhatikan dengan seksama guys konten siaran

diproduksi oleh penyelenggara platform digital dan penyelenggara platform

teknologi penyiaran lainnya siapa sih penyelenggara platform digital itu kita

anggap aja platform ott gitu ya kita sebut nama aja nih misalnya netflix jadi

konten siaran adalah siaran yang diproduksi oleh netflix pertanyaan gua

nih netflix Emang produksi film atau series kagak netflix original series nih

yang banyak ditonton orang belakangan misalnya kalau lu wibu Nonton One Piece

kan pasti siapa tuh yang produksi ada kaji production tomorrow studios dan

suia Kalau lu sigmaamel Kalau lu Lucky Lu pasti pada nonton pcky blinders nah

siapa tuh yang produksi ada Karin mandabah Productions ada Tiger aspect

Productions dan British broadcasting corporation alias BBC nah terus Emangnya

perusahaan-perusahaan yang memproduksi series ini adalah penyelenggara

teknologi penyiaran lainnya bukan juga mereka kan production house mereka kan

PH mereka bukan penyelenggara teknologi ini sama aja nih dengan banyak penyedia

video on demand lainnya seperti view video Amazon Prime mereka punya konten

original tapi bukan mereka yang produksi nah artinya apa nih guys ini barang nih

sebenarnya niatnya gede tapi kalaupun jadi kalaupun gol gak bisa dipakai

karena definisinya keliru tapi ya ini Mungkin emang cuman

masalah teknis definisi aja sih guys sebenarnya gelagat dan nafsunya Udah

kelihatan kok udah tebak ini mah KPI itu mau diluasin wewenangnya ke wilayah

platform ott dan hati-hati nih karena RUU ini masih digodok masih ada

kemungkinan bahwa RUU ini juga akan masuk ke wilayah platform user generated

content atau platform ogc seperti YouTube tiktok Twitter Instagram dan

platform lainnya karena di pasal 94 ada definisi mengenai ruang platform digital

penyiaran itu meliputi layanan siaran suara atau layanan siaran suara gambar

dengan kata lain audio dan audio visual kalau user generated content masuk

wilayah ru ini wah ini makin Sakti nih guys KPI sor nih tapi buat komisi satu

tolong ya ini ini kritik nih bukan saran maksudnya jangan dipakai itu yang tadi

Nah sebenarnya guys RUU ini nih masuk nih ke dalam daftar aturan bermasalah

yang mengekang demokrasi dan kebebasan berekspresi di ruang digital setelah

kemarin-kemarin ada permen kominfo mengenai PSL Lingku privat ada Perpres

jurnalis Sema berkualitas atau Perpres publish right belum lagi ada uite dan

seterusnya ini mah udah order baru strikes back guys Terus gimana dong

sebenarnya undang-undang penyiaran tuh emang perlu direvisi sih guys dan emang

perlu ada regulasi untuk konten-konten digital tapi regulasinya enggak kayak

gini kali Nah yang dari tadi kita bahas tuh itu semangatnya adalah soal

larangmelarang harusnya nih kalau mau bikin regulasi penyara itu harusnya

mengandung semangat mengembangkan atau dengan kata lain semangat tata kelola

yang memungkinkan industrinya berkembang dan memberikan manfaat seluas-luasnya

bagi warga baik manfaat ekonomi kultural sosial psikologis dan manfaat lainnya

dalam RUU ini gak ada tuh semangat-semangat

ini for
