JAKARTA - With a large number of internet and social media users, the number of opinions and opinions circulating is no less big.

Therefore, Kominfo and Commission I of the Indonesian House of Representatives held a Webinar Ngobrol Bareng Legislator (NGOBRAS) with the theme Free Speech In Digital Space on Saturday, May 27. This activity is even more complete with remarks from the Director General of Aptika Kominfo RI Semuel Abrijani who continues to promote digital literacy.
Member of Commission I DPR RI, Fadllullah, reminded that ethics should not only apply to digital spaces, but in various places.

Umar Mahdi as a lecturer at the Faculty of Law, Jabal University, Ghafur, said that the ethics of Indonesian citizens is closely related to the values in Pancasila, especially the 2nd precept. In the context of digital media, the ethics of freedom of opinion is limited by the Law on Information and Electronic Transactions.
On the other hand, Umar Mahdi said freedom of opinion is guaranteed in the Law and Human Rights. However, the submission of this opinion must pay attention to religious values, decency, order, public interest, and national integrity.
In the context of digital space, there are potential hoax news, hate speech, SARA, and personal data leakage. Generally, a new person can be prosecuted if there are complaints for the context of hate speech. However, this is different when it comes to state symbols, such as flags and Garuda Pancasila birds.
