Public truth emerges from collective perceptions shaped by social media discourse, news narratives, and online justice movements. In contrast, legal truth derives from formal juridical processes that prioritize the validity of electronic signatures, contractual clauses, and evidentiary mechanisms in court. This divergence undermines the legitimacy of digital contracts, particularly when public discourse perceives them as unfair despite their legal validity. Existing research on digital contracts predominantly focuses on legal validity and certainty, while largely neglecting the epistemological dimensions of truth production and contestation. This study addresses that gap through a normative juridical approach, employing qualitative analysis to examine disputes between contractual legality and online public opinion. The results reveal that tensions between public truth and legal truth erode public trust in the legal protections afforded by digital contracts. To mitigate these challenges, regulatory transparency, enhanced digital law literacy, and responsive judicial dispute resolution mechanisms are essential. These findings underscore the urgent need to reconstruct the legitimacy of digital contracts in Indonesia, while also offering a framework for comparative analysis in other jurisdictions facing similar challenges.
