This study aims to analyze legal protection for victims of photo misuse on dating applications and to evaluate the effectiveness of existing legal regulations in Indonesia. The research employs a normative juridical method with a statutory approach, examining the Law on Information and Electronic Transactions, the Personal Data Protection Law, the Indonesian Criminal Code, and Intellectual Property Rights provisions. The results indicate that although legal protection is normatively available.
