How This Blog Researches & Analyzes Digital Governance

About the researcher   |   Content limitations

Our Documentation Philosophy

This revived blog operates on a simple principle: Context matters more than hot takes. We analyze digital governance through historical, regional, and practical lenses.

Our Three-Pillar Research Framework

1. Historical Context Analysis

"You can't understand where we're going without knowing where we've been."

What we do:

- Trace regulatory concepts back to their origins (often 1990s-early 2000s)

- Document how regulations evolved through multiple internet eras

- Preserve original observations from this blog's archive (1999-2015)

Example in practice:

When analyzing AI regulation, we start with:

- Early internet governance debates (1999-2005)

- Data privacy evolution (2000-2020)

- Current AI framework discussions (2020-2026)

2. Indonesian/ASEAN Grounding

"Global trends, local realities."

Our approach:

- Analyze how international regulations impact/adapt to Southeast Asian contexts

- Document Indonesia's unique regulatory journey

- Compare ASEAN harmonization efforts with other regions

Sources we prioritize:

1. Official Indonesian regulations (UU ITE, POJK, etc.)

2. ASEAN policy documents

3. Local academic research

4. Verified industry reports from Indonesian institutions

3. Practical Impact Focus

"How do regulations actually affect technology adoption?"

Our analysis examines:

- Implementation challenges in developing economies

- Business adaptation strategies

- User behavior changes in response to regulations

- Unintended consequences

Our Research Process (2026+ Content)

Phase 1: Topic Selection

- Must have clear historical evolution

- Must have Indonesian/ASEAN relevance

- Must have practical implications

- Must align with this blog's 27-year observation scope

Phase 2: Source Collection

Primary sources (required):

- Official legal documents

- Government reports

- Regulatory agency publications

Secondary sources (contextual):

- Academic papers (prioritize Indonesian/ASEAN authors)

- Industry analysis from credible firms

- Verified news reporting

Historical context:

- This blog's own archive (1999-2015)

- Wayback Machine captures

- Historical industry publications

Phase 3: Analysis & Writing

Time investment per article:

- 8-15 hours research

- 4-6 hours writing

- 2-3 hours verification

Quality checks:

- Source verification (all links tested)

- Historical accuracy confirmation

- Context balance (local vs global)

- Practical relevance assessment

Our Citation Standards

Required for all contemporary posts:

1. **Primary source links:** Direct to official documents

2. **Date references:** When regulations were enacted/amended

3. **Historical context:** Reference to earlier similar debates

4. **Indonesian perspective:** Local impact analysis

Citation format example:

According to Indonesia's Financial Services Authority (OJK) Regulation No. X/2023 

[primary source], implemented in response to similar EU frameworks but adapted for 

ASEAN market realities. This continues evolution from earlier approaches documented 

in this blog's 2008 archive [historical reference].

What We Don't Do

❌ Predictive analysis ("This will definitely happen")

❌ Political advocacy (Supporting/opposing specific policies)

❌ Consulting services (Paid analysis for specific entities)

❌ Breaking news reporting (We analyze trends, not events)

What We Do Provide

✅ Historical context for current debates

✅ Regional perspective often missing in global analysis

✅ Longitudinal observation (27 years and counting)

✅ Practical implications for businesses and users

This methodology ensures:

1. Consistent quality across revived content

2. Credible sourcing and verification

3. Transparent research processes

4. Valuable perspective for readers

Methodology established: February 1, 2026

Based on 27 years of observation practice
