Protection consumer is terms used For describe protection given law to consumer in his efforts For fulfil need from detrimental things consumer That alone . Protection consumer own very broad coverage , covering protection to goods and/ or starting service from get goods until come to the results from usage goods and/ or service the J1
If analyze role government in give protection to consumer in activity transact sell buy goods , then approach must use approach accountability government . In matter this , Government will requested accountability in a manner civil , which is inside law civil accountability for become two category , that is accountability based on guilt and accountability based on risk . Accountability based on error This can interpreted that party must responsible answer Because he has do error previously caused loss for party another , meanwhile For accountability based on risk also known as not quite enough answer absolute ( strict liability ), that is responsibility imposed in a manner automatic to one party Because considered something adverse event party else , can prevented by the parties the Because his power or Because risk his efforts .12
Inside Article 2 of the Law about Protection Consumers in Indonesia, mentioned that protection consumers in Indonesia must based benefit , fairness , balance , security , and safety consumers , as well certainty law . Following is a number of description :

Inequality within implementation transaction buy and sell it is very vulnerable For violate principle security and safety consumer as well as principle balance .13
If arise inequality and faith bad at either party held in a manner concrete , then will arise internal dispute transaction buy and sell this . Government No Can in a manner necessarily do intervention inside dispute such , because That role government must held before exists dispute with system supervision . government role as supervisor is important function , because without exists supervision so consumer nor perpetrator business No can protected in a manner maximum . Regulations issued by the government is possible guarantee push consumer nor perpetrator business For can bond good ( good faith by coercion ). Government become provider umbrella law at a time enforcer . Because of the size power from government this , then protection consumer can run in a manner maximum Good before emergence dispute nor when dispute That happened . because it , inside Article 2 of the Government regulation on Guidance and Supervision Administration Protection Consumers , stated that government responsible answer on construction and protection guaranteed consumer he got right consumers and actors effort .

Then government also has role For increase welfare and prosperity demanding society For exists enhancement to protection consumers so they can fulfillment need food nor maintenance health , treatment , and precaution diseases caused by products sold by the offender _ effort . Protection If look at the tree the problem , then protection consumer For transaction buy and sell through party third moment it's very concrete relate with Organizer System Transaction Electronics ( ECommerce ).
