Abstract
The rapid integration of digital technology into public administration has fundamentally altered the landscape of State Administrative Law (HAN), necessitating a paradigm shift from traditional bureaucratic procedures to dynamic, technology-mediated governance. This research aims to analyze the evolving dynamics of administrative law and the government's tripartite role—as regulator, facilitator, and innovator—in upholding social justice within the digital sphere. Using a normative legal research methodology, this study examines the intersection of Indonesia’s recent legislative reforms, specifically the 2024 Amendment to the Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE) Law and Ministerial Regulation No. 11 of 2024, with universal principles of good governance. The findings reveal that while digitalization offers unprecedented efficiency and transparency, it introduces complex legal challenges regarding data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the digital divide. The study proposes a comprehensive framework for "Digital Administrative Justice," arguing that the government must move beyond mere service delivery to actively construct an inclusive digital ecosystem that protects vulnerable populations. The article concludes that the alignment of administrative law with technological reality is not merely technical but a constitutional imperative to ensure social justice is not eroded by automation.
