Meanwhile, the largest portion is precisely the dark social media became the gates of attack. The trend shows that social media is used to socialize. The growth of social media users increases the trend of cyberbullying. That raises victims who need attention and protection. In this case, the role of victimology is necessary to find out the relationship between victims and perpetrators, as well as legal protection. In Indonesia there are several existing laws, it can be used to follow up on the parties doing cybercrime. There are the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP), Law No. 40 the year 1999 on the Press and the Law on Electronic Information and Transaction. However, these regulations are not effective in preventing crime and providing protection to victims.Therefore this paper aims to explore how Indonesian regulation provides the regulation to protect cyberbullying victims. Through this article, it is also hoped that it can be known whether the existing regulations in Indonesia can be applied to the cyberbullying. In conclusion firstly, Indonesia Law does not define cyberbullying. Secondly, Indonesian regulation does not specifically regulate cyberbullying victims' rights. The recommendation is the Indonesian government should regulate juridically the type of cyberbullying crime, including the legal definition of cyberbullying, increase human resources in the field of cybercrime law enforcement and special attention from the Indonesian government to victims of cyberbullying.
