Freedom of Speech is one of Product
Democracy. This system gives us the right to be free to have opinion and
expression in the public are, but the words must not violate the rights of
others. The right of freedom of opinions and expression are core of democracy value. The
rights are prerequisite to all people can take a role in democarcy system, If
people are forbidden to express their opinions, then the country failed to
implement democracy system.
Technology is growing fast and changing our
lives.
People can easly convey their opinions and expression in the public area, only
take one seconds people can easly convey it. It is certainly advantageous for the
Indonesian, they do not need to go to the government center to express their
opinion.
People can easly convey their opinion in
public area but in this era people are often violate other rights. People can
easly convey hate speech in social media, invade religious, tribes, and race of
others, and also spreading Hoax and defamatory statements.
Those actions are realy harm democracy. People think there are convey their
opinions but the truth is they only spread hate speech, which the threat in
digital democracy.
Hate Speech can threat our democracy and Indonesia’s
Diversity. Even those negative actions can bring socials conflict in society.
Indonesian youths should be able to become a front liner to prevent hate speech
from being commonplace on social media. Indonesian youth must
uphold and practice Sumpah Pemuda in their daily lives, so that the nation wont
face a problem because of hate speech. Youth must also be active in the inclusive
democracy process that not only give criticism to the problem but play an
active role in finding and providing solutions to the problem.
Indonesian youth should fill their
social media with positive things, and not engage in hate speech. Indonesia
youth should be involved educating society. To stop spread hate speech in
public or private area. Indonesia is facing hate speech, so we must prevent
hate speech. Indonesian
youth is a reflection of the future of Indonesia. Indonesia must be free from
all forms of hate speech such invade religious, tribes, and race of others, and
spreading hoax and defamatory statements. Let's keep the values of local wisdom
