OPTIMIZING THE ROLE OF THE PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE IN SUPERVISING PRINTED MATERIALS AFTER THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT DECISION NO. 6-13-20/PUU-VIII/2010 IN SURABAYA

Abstract

This research analyzes the role of the Prosecutor’s Office in supervising printed materials after the Constitutional Court's Decision No. 6-13-20/PUU-VIII/2010, which annulled the legal force of Law No. 4/PNPS/1963. This decision limits the prosecutor's authority in banning printed materials that could disrupt public order. This empirical-sociological legal research conducted in the Surabaya Prosecutor’s Office examines how prosecutorial supervision continues under Article 30(3)(c) of Law No. 16 of 2004 and Law No. 3 of 2017 on the Book System. The study recommends strategies such as forming cyber teams, using digital content tracking software, and enhancing inter-agency collaboration. These efforts aim to ensure constitutional oversight in the digital era.
