With globalization evolving and global technological improvements today, we are becoming acquainted with a medium called social media. Social media is where individuals can communicate, interact, even publish and express themselves freely. It is no exception as a new vessel for social media users to reason. As it grows, the constitution of the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE), has been passed on information and electronic transactions to protect society’s social media. But the legislation was controversial for restricting the right to freedom of speech as found in paragraph (3) of Article 28E of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia because there are several “rubber” chapters in it. The purpose of this writing was to learn how freedom of speech existed in the digital age, as well as how the various “rubber” chapters of the ite act were affected. Several “rubber” chapters in the law of Electronic Information and Transactions, that is, article 27 verses (1), chapter 28 verses (2), and chapter 29 constitution of Electronic Information and Transactions.
