Abstract

This paper aims to describe the law enforcement of criminal defamation in social media. A qualitative approach using normative juridical methods and assisted through descriptive analysis to find policies for criminalizing defamation offenses on social media. From the analysis carried out, two conclusions were obtained. First, the basis of justification for criminalizing defamation offenses is moral theory and individualistic liberal theory. The criminalization of defamation offenses is in line with the cultural values of the people and the religious values of the Indonesian nation, as well as the protection of the material and immaterial interests of the community.
