Pertanggung Jawaban Pidana Terhadap Pelaku Pendistribusian Konten Bermuatan Asusila Melalui Media Elektronik (study Kasus Perkara No : 844/pid.sus/2022/pn Pbr)
Despite the government's and platform owners' efforts to ban pornographic content through various features, pornography remains prevalent on social media, which serves as an ideal medium for such content. Finding pornographic content on Twitter is not difficult. The key lies in the search column, where users simply need to enter the words "obscene" and "lewd" in the search system.
