RUANG PUBLIK: ETIKA BERBICARA DI MEDIA SOSIAL

Abstract

Public space has experienced a significant transformation with the presence of social media as a communication and interaction platform. Social media provides broad freedom of expression, but also raises new challenges in maintaining ethical speech. The ethics of speaking on social media is an important issue because of its influence on social relations, the dissemination of information and the formation of public opinion. This article discusses the importance of ethical speech on social media by examining aspects of freedom of expression, moral responsibility, and its impact on harmony in the public space. The results of the study show that implementing speech ethics can encourage the creation of inclusive, safe and constructive public spaces. Therefore, collective awareness and supportive regulations are needed to maintain a balance between freedom of speech and social responsibility in the digital era.
