Often I prefer to read comments on Instagram account posts rather than mentions and pictures, yes this is because of issues gossipable It's more crowded there. Moreover, comments in the form of protest against the performance of state officials. Although they know that the official has an important role in the legal development process. I think they (netizens) are brave, because they are not afraid of legal threats from the results of their fingers on the cellphone screen.

Sometimes, cheers in the column Comment often appear on the OA LINE application which is called for by individuals with Photo Profile Spongebob "Our council has a lot of corruption." Or "This is the Law in Indonesia."

It is not uncommon for such criticisms to be accompanied by a 1-minute video with Backsound "religious" or "EDM" songs are called out by the public against the tools of making or enforcing the law as proof of their awareness (because I think the majority of students are adults) of the weaknesses of the law in Indonesia, or at least participating in the collection of #like-status-I-gan #likeforlike #viralkan.

In my opinion, this is the impact of the mushrooming of negative stigma in society that corrupt practices in the legal process such as Trading in Influence , political capture / interference and Regulatory Capture is commonplace. When using the phrase activist demonstration, it is not uncommon for students to agree with the cheers with the words "This is what makes the values of truth in society often overlooked!"

Apart from the understanding of La Guardia's story, the values of legal truth tend to differ from the moral views of society. Because both the law and society tend to have their own truth values. So it is not uncommon for us to hear eccentric words from netizens and state apparatus who protest based on # My Feeling Is Wrong.

It is precisely because of bad habits in the legal formulation process that it has the potential to manipulate the values of legal truth that are further from the values of the truth of society and the state apparatus. What happened was waiting for a statement from the Law who did not have the spirit to comment #FeelingkuAkuSalah. Yes, it can be said that Legal Products experience a vacuum .

Although the above is a good study space for Law scholars to dive into the pattern of action thinking Immoral from State officials. So that ideas emerge to be advocated or presented as policy references.

In fact, both a law scholar who is forced to mine legal understanding for 4 years in a university, and the authorities in the legal process do not necessarily understand various legal studies as an ideal value tool that should always be a reference for the formation, regulation, and implementation of legal rules.

Such a condition results in many ideas that are only presented in a Forum Group Discussion Squirt .

In my opinion, the society that is given access to the law (Executive, Legislative, Judicial) is ideally a society that already understands the law.

Or at least understand and view the law as a reality. Is it the social reality, the reality of science, the reality of culture, or the reality of life that the law requires so many pieces of red paper with a picture of Mr. Soekarno.

Protest opinions in the comment column are also often a stir-fry, a joke, and an event Advertisement OL Shop which is owned by our community with a number of Viewers , Likes and Comment As well as the use of hashtags # which tend to be in opposition to government performance documentation (for example, the number of negative comments on @dpr_ri's Instagram account). Yes, because it is easier than trying to be literate, reading narratives, making comparisons, so that posts tend to be appreciated.
