For 30 years Indonesia lived in the New Order

regime which suppressed freedom of expression.

After the 1998 Reformation, freedom of expression
was achieved, but not yet accompanied by enough
maturity of mind and emotions, good preparedness
and self-control.
Our educational attainment is still quite low in
population. The quality of education emphasizes more
the aspect of cognitive rationality alone. Fueled by
advances in information and communication
technology through social media, Indonesia has never
experienced hurricanes of speech and open
controversy in this massive society. Hate speech in
social media has become a particular group strategy to
provoke hatred and anarchy.

The Role of State and Religious Organization
1. The Role of State
Based on the number of internet users and various
motivations, the government as the party responsible
for the security, awareness, intelligence and education
of citizens then the government should have a
significant role on the system that works on the
internet.
In my opinion that the discussion that received the
full attention of social media users in Indonesia in
general is a matter of religion. With such a reality it
should not only the government that should have a big
role in cyberspace but also religious organizations
must participate actively.
