This research aims to find out and analyze freedom of opinion in social media in Indonesia. This research is a normative research supported by empirical juridical research methods.

The data of this research is sourced from primary data in the form of observations and secondary data in the form of primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials collected using literature studies and observations and this research is analyzed in a qualitative descriptive manner. The results of the study show that (1) Freedom of opinion in social media in Indonesia is an independence in expressing feelings, thoughts, ideas, and expressions in virtual form that is accommodated by digital platforms such as social media but limited by the responsibility to maintain ethics, not harm others, and follow the applicable laws and regulations in Indonesia.

The issue of criminalizing victims of sexual violence through the use of defamation charges is gaining public attention because it is often used to silence victims who try to share their experiences. This article describes how defamation provisions in the Criminal Code and the Electronic Information and Transactions Law are often used as instruments of Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPP) directed at victims, making victims even more vulnerable. The study uses a normative approach to assess the effectiveness of legal protection in the Sexual Violence Criminal Law (TPKS Law). The results of the analysis show that the TPKS Law does not explicitly include an anti-SLAPP mechanism, leaving open the possibility for the reported party to file a counter-report against the victim. Studies of the SPI, KPI, and Baiq Nuril cases show a recurring pattern, namely the use of defamation articles as a means of silencing victims and slowing down the process of exposing sexual violence. This article proposes an anti-SLAPP clause based on a progressive interpretation of the anti-revictimization principle in the TPKS Law. This proposal is reinforced by the push for the application of an early dismissal mechanism for reports that show strong indications of intimidation, so that victims receive maximum protection in the legal process.

Article 28 I of the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia mandates that every citizen has the right and everyone has the right to be free from discriminatory treatment and entitled to protection thereof. Many people believe that only women can be victims of harassment. Women and men are both potential victims and the effects they get are the same. MS as a victim of sexual harassment in KPI wrote an open letter on social media about the sexual harassment that happened to her. The open letter then went viral and many social media users began to harass the personal lives of these perpetrators. From here, the perpetrators reported back to MS with allegations of defamation. The incident became the author's background in writing this research by applying normative juridical research methods, namely research that focuses on positive law or the practice of applying norms or rules in legislation. According to Article 310 paragraph (3) of the Criminal Code states that it cannot be punished if the accusation is carried out as a form of defending public interests or defending oneself. While what is known today, MS who tells her condition after being harassed on social media is an attempt to defend herself and reveal the truth.

In fact, debt collection via social media is not a violation as long as it does not lead to defamation of the debtor. There is a difference between unlawful acts in the context of criminal law and unlawful acts in the context of civil law, namely that more emphasis is placed on the differences in the nature of criminal law which is public in nature and civil law which is private in nature.

This study aims to examine how mediation is used in defamation cases that involve social media. With a normative legal perspective, this study employs a descriptive qualitative methodology. In order to analyze the phenomena and draw conclusions, this study's analysis technique involves looking at phenomena through the lens of already-existing library sources. The study's findings demonstrate how efforts to resolve criminal cases through non-litigation methods such as penal mediation can stifle efforts to resolve cases legally, leading to the imposition of criminal penalties. Keeping in mind that the goal of updating Indonesia's national criminal code is not just to exact revenge or retaliation (retributivism), but rather to resolve or repair the effects of a conflict or crime. In addition, penal mediation as a means of settling cases outside the court (non-litigation) can be a solution to overcoming the problem of overcapacity that is commonly experienced by correctional institutions in Indonesia.

Everyone is entitled to the freedom of association, assembly, and speech, as stated in Article 28E (3) of the 1945 Constitution. The aim of this research is to study the legal aspects of the existence of hate speech on social media. This study examines the current legal framework governing freedom of speech and efforts to protect human rights in relation to racial harassment by reviewing existing legal regulations. The research method employed is literature review (bibliographical study). In legal research, the normative jurisprudence method is based on legal provisions such as human rights books' regulations, as well as information from research journals related to the research subject.
