Implementasi Hukum Terhadap Buzzer Politik yang Menimbulkan Kerusuhan di Masyarakat Berdasarkan Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 2024

The presence of political buzzers on social media has a significant impact on the political map in Indonesia, especially in terms of spreading hoaxes and misleading information that can damage the reputation of certain individuals or groups. This phenomenon has the potential to cause unrest in the community, especially in the context of elections and democratic stability. This research aims to analyze the application of law against political buzzers in Indonesia, as well as identify the elements of political buzzer actions that can cause public unrest. The research method used is normative-empirical legal research, by collecting secondary data in the form of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, which are then reinforced by interviews with relevant sources. The results showed that although there are laws and regulations, such as Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions, the application of law against political buzzers has not been effective. This is due to the ineffective application of the offense of complaint which depends on the initiative of the aggrieved party, as well as the complexity of political dynamics. This research also found that political buzzers can be categorized based on the rewards received and the purpose of disseminating controversial and damaging information.

Abstract

The presence of political buzzers on social media has a significant impact on the political map in Indonesia, especially in terms of spreading hoaxes and misleading information that can damage the reputation of certain individuals or groups. This phenomenon has the potential to cause unrest in the community, especially in the context of elections and democratic stability. This research aims to analyze the application of law against political buzzers in Indonesia, as well as identify the elements of political buzzer actions that can cause public unrest. The research method used is normative-empirical legal research, by collecting secondary data in the form of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, which are then reinforced by interviews with relevant sources. The results showed that although there are laws and regulations, such as Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions, the application of law against political buzzers has not been effective. This is due to the ineffective application of the offense of complaint which depends on the initiative of the aggrieved party, as well as the complexity of political dynamics. This research also found that political buzzers can be categorized based on the rewards received and the purpose of disseminating controversial and damaging information.
