Abstract
Hate speech is a debatable concept and its being regulated in Electronic Information and Transaction (ITE) law is widely disputed among scholars in Indonesia. This study explores how judges consider the elements of hate speech using UAM CorpusTool software based on an appraisal framework. Two court verdicts comprising 2158 and 2296 words token were used as the data for this study. This study shows that the dominant attitude of the appraisal system toward the evidence is appreciation, with a mostly negative attitude. The use of heteroglossic expand was more prevalent compared to monoglossic system. This study suggests that despite its controversial law, the judges‘ convictions were firstly sourced through aligning their stance to other voices (e.g. regulations, witnesses, and the defendant) before finally taking their stance and pronouncing the defendant accountable for his crime, appraised as judgment social esteem capacity, as he realizes (knowingly) the consequences of posting hate comments.
