“…Not only would this predictably cause a stampede, but it would not be easy in the ensuing panic to convey that it was a false alarm (McKinnon 2016 ). Thus, restrictions on expression are justified in these cases, not because of the content of what is expressed, but by features of the circumstances—that is, because of “the deficits of the situation when viewed as a forum for deliberation” (Niesen 2019 , 15).…”

The spread of vaccine misinformation may contribute to vaccine refusal/hesitancy and consequent harms. Nonetheless, censorship is often rejected on the grounds of free expression. This article examines John Stuart Mill’s influential defence of free expression but finds that his arguments for freedom apply only to normal, reasonably favourable circumstances. In other cases, it may be permissible to restrict freedom, including freedom of speech. Thus, while Mill would ordinarily defend the right to express false views, such as that vaccines cause autism, he might have accepted restrictions on anti-vaccine misinformation during the present pandemic. This illustrates that even the staunchest defenders of free speech can permit temporary restrictions in exceptional circumstances.

“…Utility is a principle that, according to Bentham (Plamenatz et al;Brian, 2023), approves or rejects any action that increases or decreases the happiness of the party affected by the action. Approving and rejecting the action is seen from whether the consequences of the action are good or not (Niesen, 2019). In this case, the Government must increase the community's happiness.…”

“…According to Bentham, the utility principle is a principle that approves or rejects any action that increases or decreases the party's happiness affected by the move. Approving and reject-ing the activity is seen from whether it is good or not (Niesen, 2019). In this case, the Government must increase the happiness that the community will enjoy.…”

Every amendment to the Bank Indonesia Law is caused by a situation that requires changes to the Law regulating the Central Bank in Indonesia as a solution. The spread of COVID-19 in Indonesia has also led to proposals to amend the Bank Indonesia Law. The purpose of the study is to find answers to the relevance of the proposed Amendment to Bank Indonesia Law to address the spread of COVID-19 to banking institutions in Indonesia. This type of research methods is normative legal research. In normative legal analysis, secondary data are used, consisting of primary and secondary legal materials. They are obtained from applicable regulations in Indonesia. The study results show that every change is always based on events that prove the weak implementation of existing rules with a regulatory and conceptual approach. The spread of COVID-19 is a situation, that has no practical basis and requires amendments to the Bank Indonesia Law as an alternative solution. Also, the proposed amendments are not yet relevant to address the impact of COVID-19 on banks because they have not yet realized and achieved the legal goals of providing benefits to the community.
