- Abstract
The Electronic Information and Transaction Act is a means for the government to protect freedom of expression for its citizens. On the other hand, this law is considered to cause social unrest because it can hinder freedom of expression. Legal issues arise when the diction in a law contains few limitations. Article 27, paragraph (3) of the Electronic Information and Transaction Act, which the Criminal Code later repealed, proves that this article cannot protect people's freedom of opinion. This article aims to show safe limits in using social media and expressing opinions based on the ethics that Indonesian people should have. The research was conducted using socio-legal research methods. Legislative and conceptual approaches are used to see the suitability of legal rules with the social conditions that exist in society. The theory of moral ethics put forward by Immanuel Kant is the basis for standards of action that are considered correct and do not violate other people's human rights. The research results show that the government should ensure freedom of opinion and protect the rights of every citizen. For this reason, the government needs to set strict limits in determining content deemed to violate ethical values and insult someone.
