The study results showed that the regulation related to pornography was regulated in Articles 282 to 283 of the Criminal Code regarding moral crimes, Article 4 of Law Number 44 of 2008 concerning Pornography, and Article 27 paragraph (1) of Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions.
