The rapid development of digital technology has
transformed the education sector through the widespread
adoption of distance learning platforms. However, this
transformation raises significant legal concerns regarding
the liability of digital platforms in ensuring system reliability,
data protection, and service quality. Although Indonesia has
established several relevant legal frameworks, including
education, electronic transactions, and personal data
protection laws, their effectiveness in regulating platform
liability in distance education remains uncertain. This study
aims to analyze the effectiveness of existing regulations and
examine the urgency of strengthening the legal framework
governing digital platform responsibility in Indonesia’s
education system. The research employs a normative legal
method by examining statutory regulations, legal doctrines,
and relevant academic literature using descriptive-analytical
approaches. The findings indicate that the current regulatory
framework is fragmented and lacks specific integration to
regulate digital platform liability in education
comprehensively. Ambiguities remain in determining
responsibility among platforms, educational institutions,
and users, particularly in cases of system failure and data
breaches. The study concludes that regulatory reform is
urgently required to enhance legal certainty, strengthen
accountability mechanisms, and ensure better protection for
students in digital learning environments
