Indonesian netizens are often labeled as social media users at will without heeding politeness when interacting. This assessment is further confirmed by a survey conducted by Microsoft,  that Medsos users are labeled as netizens with the worst politeness level for Southeast Asia scale. The predicate is certainly aimed at allreligius netizens without emphasizing certain beliefs. The low politeness indicates the lack of social media ethics applied by the people of the country. Ironically, Indonesia is known as areligius and civilized country, it seems invisible if you look at the behavior of netizens who are. The method used in this paper is descriptive qualitative method with a literature study approach. The description of this topic religion certainly teaches how politeness and politeness in the public space are displayed especially in social media, because politeness is an indikator we are called ethical or not. The principle of Christian ethics teaches that when using social media what a believer must do is not to do body shaming with other online media users, or not to comment racistically. Because God does not differentiate between fellow humans by loving one and not loving another just because humans are different physically, race or nation. The next principle of Christian ethics in social media is not to argue theologically and not to spit negative things. The goal is to avoid quarrels, let alone hate speech. Netizen Indonesia kerap di cap sebagai pengguna media sosial sesuka hati tanpa mengindahkan kesantunan ketika berinteraksi. Penilaian ini makin dipertegas melalui survei yang dilakukan oleh Microsoft,  bahwa pengguna Medsos dilabeli sebagai netizen dengan tingkat kesopanan paling buruk untuk skala Asia Tenggara. Predikat itu tentu ditujukan kepada semua netizen yang beragama tanpa menitik-beratkan keyakinan tertentu. Rendahnya kesopanan menandakan kurangnya etika bermedia sosial diterapkan oleh masyarakat tanah air. Ironisnya, Indonesia yang di kenal sebagai negara yang religius dan beradab, hal itu seakan tidak terlihat bila melihat perilaku netizen yang bar-bar. Metode yang digunakan dalam tulisan ini adalah metode kualitatif deskriftif dengan pendekatan studi kepustakaan. Uraian dari topik ini agama tentu mengajarkan bagaimana kesopanan dan kesantunan di ruang publik ditampilkan terlebih dalam bermedia sosial, karena kesopanan itu merupakan indikator kita di sebut beretika atau tidak. Prinsip etika Kristiani mengajarkan bahwa ketika bermedia sosial  yang  harus dilakukan orang Kristen  adalah tidak melakukanbody shaming kesesama pengguna media online, maupun tidak berkomentar secara rasis. Karena Allah tidak membeda-bedakan sesama manusia dengan mengasihi yang satu dan tidak mengasihi yang lain hanya karena manusia itu berbeda secara fisik, ras atau bangsa. Prinsip etika Kristiani berikutnya dalam bermedia sosial adalah tidak berdebat secara teologis dan tidak mengumbar hal negatif. Tujuannya  agar tidak terjadi pertengkaran apalagi ujaran kebencian.

<p>ABSTRACT<br />The hoax phenomenon is a historical reality. He was born along with the birth of the era of information media freedom. Hoaxes are often damaging to a pluralistic society. History records that hoaxes destabilize harmony of a society. Therefore the hoax must be terminated immediately. This paper uses a textual literature study approach. Hoax phenomenon is placed in the tension between media idealism and media ethics. The scope of the discussion began with a review of some of the country's formal regulations, such as the Law that had been produced. For the author, state regulation of media life is an ideal condition (media idealism) where the state is based on its capacity to regulate what must be broadcast. The result is that ideal conditions do not always have an impact in reality. Many rules are violated in the practice of media, especially social media. So, there should be room to be filled in to overcome this gap, namely an ethical commitment as a normative necessity for social media activists. Law enforcement alone is not enough so it must also be equipped with other social capital, namely: the firmness of citizens' attitudes, are social media users to maintain the integrity of society. The integrity is possible by the determination of the social media community to ensure a truth of the message before it is broadcast to the public; Maintain the privileges inherent in each individual; Strictly separating the realm of private issues from public problems; Reveal a message that avoids lying, slander, and attacking others' personal motives; and full awareness that the cultural diversity of society is sensitive. All of these are referred to as ethical principles that must be considered as guidelines for living together as a nation.<br /><strong>Keywords:</strong> Ethics, Hoaxes, Social Media, Plurality, Regulation.</p><p><br />ABSTRAK<br />Fenomena hoax adalah sebuah kenyataan sejarah. Dia lahir bersamaan dengan kelahiran era kebebasan media informasi. Namun, keberadaannya seringkali merusak tatanan masyarakat yang plural. Sejarah mencatat bahwa hoax menggoyahkan kerukunan, bahkan perpecahan masyarakat. Karena itu hoax harus segera diakhiri. Tulisan ini menggunakan pendekatan kajian literatur tekstual, dimana fenomena hoax ditempatkan dalam ketegangan antara idealisme media dan etika bermedia. Cakupan pembahasan dimulai dari tinjauan terhadap beberapa regulasi formal negara, seperti Undang-undang yang pernah dihasilkan. Bagi penulis, regulasi negara atas kehidupan media adalah kondisi ideal (idealisme media) dimana negara berdasarkan kapasitasnya mengatur apa yang harus disiarkan. Hasilnya bahwa kondisi ideal tidak selalu berdampak dalam kenyataannya. Banyak aturan dilanggar dalam praktik bermedia, terutama media sosial. Maka, seharusnya ada ruang yang harus diisi untuk mengatasi kesenjangan tersebut, yaitu sebuah komitmen etis sebagai keharusan normatif bagi para pegiat media sosial. Penegakan hukum saja tidak cukup maka harus pula dilengkapi modal sosial yang lain, yaitu: keteguhan sikap warga negara, pengguna media sosial untuk menjaga keutuhan masyarakat. Keutuhan itu dimungkinan oleh keteguhan masyarakat media sosial untuk memastikan sebuah kebenaran pesan sebelum disiarkan kepada publik; Menjaga hak istimewa yang melekat pada setiap individu; Memisahkan dengan tegas ranah persoalan privat dari persoalan publik; Mengungkapkan pesan yang menghindari motif-motif bohong, fitnah, dan menyerang pribadi orang lain; dan kesadaran penuh bahwa keragaman budaya masyarakat adalah sensitif. Semua ini disebut sebagai prinsip etis yang harus dianggap sebagai pedoman hidup bersama sebagai bangsa.<br /><strong>Kata Kunci:</strong> Etika, Hoax, Media Sosial, Pluralitas, Regulasi.</p>

The fast-growing social media in Indonesia has opened up opportunities for spreading feminist ideas to a wider and more diverse audience. Various social media accounts especially Instagram that focus on gender advocacy and feminism such as @indonesiafeminis, @lawanpatriarki, and @feminismanis have developed in Indonesia. However, the development of the social media platform also presents groups that oppose feminists. One of the accounts of women’s groups that oppose feminists is @indonesiatanpafeminis.id (@indonesiawithoutfeminist.id). The research objectives are namely to analyze the diversity of issues and reveal the discourse contestation that developed in the @indonesiatanpafeminis.id, and dynamic relationships on the online and offline spaces between groups of feminists and anti-feminists or the other interest. This research employed the digital ethnography method that utilized observation, interview, and literature study as data collection techniques. This study found that the online conversations at @indonesiatanpafeminis.id revealed misconceptions on feminism from a group of women with a religious identity. Furthermore, the conversation also tends to strengthen patriarchal values with religious arguments that are gender-biased. However, the @indonesiatanpafeminis.id serves as a public space for open debates and education on feminist issues. The anti-feminist group behind the @indonesiatanpafeminis.id are women who identify themselves in a certain Muslim circle that has political, cultural, and religious agendas. One of the agendas is to influence the public to reject the Sexual Violence Eradication Bill. This study also noted the Muslim supporters of anti-feminism in Indonesia are less popular compared to progressive religious-based Muslim women organizations such as Aisyiyah (Muhammadiyah), Muslimat NU (Nahdlatul Ulama), and Rahima (Center for Education and Information on Islam and Women’s Rights). The study also evokes discussion on how the feminist and anti-feminist discourses can be utilized to criticize and develop the women’s movement or feminism in a multicultural context.

In recent years, cars have steadily colonized the sidewalks in downtown Tbilisi. By driving and parking on sidewalks, vehicles have reshaped public space and placed pedestrian life at risk. A variety of social actors coordinate sidewalk affairs in the city, including the local government, a private company called CT Park, and a fleet of self-appointed st’aianshik’ebi (parking attendants) who direct drivers into parking spots for spare change. Pedestrian activists have challenged the automotive conquest of footpaths in innovative ways, including art installations, social media protests, and the fashioning of ad hoc physical barriers. By safeguarding sidewalks against cars, activists assert ideals for public space that are predicated on sharp boundaries between sidewalk and street, pedestrian and machine, citizen and commodity. Politicians and activists alike connect the sharpness of such boundaries to an imagined Europe. Georgia’s parking culture thus reflects not only local configurations of power among the many interests clamoring for the space of the sidewalk, but also global hierarchies of value that form meaningful distinctions and aspirational horizons in debates over urban public space. Against the dismal frictions of an expanding car system, social actors mobilize the idioms of freedom and shame to reinterpret and repartition the public/private distinction.

Faith in public life can be associated with Christianity in Ghana from the days of the early Western missionaries. Christian faith perspectives on matters of public concerns however, assumed a wider scope with the practice of regular issuance of communiques to governments and the people of Ghana by the churches. Christian ministry is expected to be holistic. A holistic approach in Christian ministry is considered to lead to the holistic development of the nation for the common good and the glory of God. Church leaders subsequently, bring their faith perspectives to matters of public concerns as a ministerial mandate to be in pilgrimage with the people. The study is a reflection on how the churches’ communiques are done and the factors that make the communiques theological in the public space. It further seeks to identify the contribution of the construction of communiques to public theology in Christianity in Ghana. The study as qualitative, examines both available primary and secondary sources. Copies of communiques of some selected churches, ecumenical bodies and joint communiques by ecumenical bodies are examined to appreciate insights of communiques by the churches. The study seeks to make a contribution to the theological construction of public theologies in Ghana and African Christianity. KEYWORDS: Public Theology, African Christianity, Communique, Common Good
