| Summary: | Social commerce (S-Commerce) comes from the disruption of business digitalization
that explores social media. When s-commerce was developing, Indonesia banned
the platform because it was considered to kill local businesses and capitalize on
the market. The decision can potentially contradict economic democracy in one
of the provisions of Article 33, paragraph (4) of the 1945 Constitution, which
opens up technological space for developing the national economy. The purpose
of writing this article is to deconstruct economic democracy on commercial law
on social media as a Government policy that prohibits S-Commerce. The writing
article uses normative legal research methods with statutory, legal comparison, and
conceptual approaches. There are two research results in this article. First, at a time
when significant nations are embracing technology at a rapid pace to boost their
businesses, the government’s decision to outlaw s-commerce has negatively impacted
the nation. Based on the doctrine of digitalization, economic law is not appropriate if
it has to ban S-Commerce. The business paradigm of the contemporary era must be
integrated with technology to compete with the development of the digital economy in
the global realm. Second, based on economic democracy in Article 33, paragraph (4)
of the 1945 Constitution, S-Commerce manifests a national economy balanced with
technological progress by the constitution’s mandate. S-Commerce law provisions
need to be deconstructed using the principles of economic democracy. So, reasonable
legislative parameters may promote the growth of the digital economy while not
jeopardizing the local economy. |
