Abstract
The development of information technology has a significant impact on people's lives, including excessive use of technology that has eroded the values of civilization and society as social beings. This study aims to determine the negative impacts of the use of technology that form indications of modern slavery. Using a mixed method research approach, this study combines quantitative data obtained from distributing questionnaires to respondents across generations and qualitative data from essays that express people's views on modern slavery. The results of the study show that the majority of respondents view the live streaming program on the Tiktok application begging for donations/gifts as a form of modern slavery practice. Even without direct coercion, begging for donations/gifts is a form of self-slavery. This phenomenon has the potential to damage the social order and affect economic aspects. Although it has been regulated by Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions as amended by Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning Amendments to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Transactions and Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning the Second Amendment to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions (UU ITE), the regulation still needs to be amended to be able to limit the negative impacts of excessive use of technology.
