Various Negative Impacts of
ICT Use
•
•
•
In relation to information dissemination,
there are several negative impacts:
Information provided in the Internet is not
always true, so it is possible that there is
any misleading information. It can lead to
enmity, hatred, libel, and other negative
impacts.
There is no age limit to access information
in the internet, so anyone can access any
information. In this case, violence, sexual
harassment and so on might happen.
In business, today shopping using credit card is
the most used method in the Internet
It also gives chances for crime. Since it is open by
nature, criminals can detect any transaction (that
uses credit card) on-line and record the card
code that is used. Then they use the data
obtained for their own purpose. It is called
Carding.
•
Data security becomes an important thing in the
activity related to network and Internet. There
are two kinds of activities that deviate a
computer network: hacking and cracking.
Hacking is a way to enter a network in order to
explore or find the weakness of the network
system. Cracking is a way to enter a network
illegally in order to steal, change, or destroy files
or data stored in the network computers. One
doing hacking is called a hacker, while one
doing cracking is called a cracker.
Regulation
To anticipate the negative impacts, a
regulation that limits the movement of
cyber criminals as well as to give secure
feeling to other internet users is made. The
regulation form is Act of Republic Indonesia
Number 11 Year 2008 on Electronic
Information and Transaction that is named
UU ITE.
To understand the Act on ITE, table 2.2
presents two examples of forbidden
actions, stated in section 27 verse (1) and
(2) with criminal provision stated in section
45 verse (1). Act on ITE is fully presented in
attachment 1.
