Social Media Paradox

Social media is like a wastebasket. On the platform, used objects are piled up without any partition and mingle, multiplying the waste of life.

Male and female, young and old, high-low strata, rational-emotional, all interact without barriers. Social media gives its users space to express their thoughts, feelings and artificial roles. As written by Rulli Nasrullah (2014) and explained by social examiner Baudrillard, the virtual world is apparently growing into a representation of the realm of imagination.

In the virtual world, users can be anyone they want to be. Therefore, using social media does not require clarification unless it leads to verbal violence, public lies (hoaxes), the spread of pornography and hate speech. Only to this extent can the state intervene to protect its people.
