Threats and Verbal Abuse toward Feminists: Linguistic Forensic Analysis on Instagram’s Comment
Linguistic Forensic Analysis on Instagram’s Comment
Abstract
This study analyzes the online abuse received by feminist activists due to their support for Peraturan Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Nomor 30 Tahun 2021 tentang Pencegahan dan Penanganan Kekerasan Seksual (PPKS). The Activist received online verbal abuse directly from particular accounts on Instagram for their campaign on the controversial term ‘concern.’ The data are based on the Okky Madasari Instagram account case. These abused comments on Instagram violate Law No. 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions related to hate speech. This article uses a forensic linguistics perspective to obtain linguistic evidence. The result shows that some intent comments reveal threatening online abuse and the campaign invites cyberbullying toward feminists on social media.
