Abstract:
Do we have privacy in the Big Data Era? This is the main question with the emergence of the internet with its negative excess in our daily life specifically in the field of privacy. Big Data is increasingly used as the main source for predicting internet users’ behaviour by collecting and processing users’ personal data. Those predictions enable and transform society insight in the digitalised era. As a result, there is no doubt that Big Data is a valuable tool to generate money for business entities, to predict consumer behaviour, to predict certain criminal activity in the security field, and even beyond this, to be able to control citizens’ behaviour in every aspect of life. Thus, the debate over the use of Big Data is whether it leads to disruption of the right to privacy. In addition, there is a relative view of the right to privacy; while one society considers privacy to be an important thing, it could be less important in another society. Addressing those backgrounds, this pap
er will analyse the right to privacy in Indonesia using Kurbalija’s triangle on privacy and the response of the Indonesian Government to protect privacy.
