[ABSTRAKTujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis jaminan hukum terhadap pengguna media sosial di Indonesia dalam melangsungkan hak kemerdekaan berekspresi yang merupakan Hak Asasi Manusia mengingat peristiwa ujaran kebencian online yang semakin marak.

Data primer didapatkan dengan cara survey awal dan wawancara kepada responden dan informan, sedangkan data sekunder didapatkan dari buku-buku, penelitian terdahulu, dan peraturan perundang-undangan terkait. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa hukum Indonesia telah memberikan jaminan bagi pengguna media sosial untuk melangsungkan hak atas kemerdekaan berekspresi, akan tetapi di lain sisi, hukum juga memberikan kewajiban bagi setiap pengguna media sosial untuk menghargai hak orang lain dengan adanya larangan dan batasan dalam melangsungkan hak atas kemerdekaan berekspresi tersebut.
