Abstract

This article aims to analyze the phenomenon of online public shaming from the perspective of criminal law, especially when people who are humiliated through social media are found to be innocent. To analyze this, a socio-legal method is used by studying law through laws and regulations and studying it from various disciplines. The results of the qualitative analysis describe that online public shaming on the one hand is a new form of social norm of public shaming that has existed since ancient times, but on the other hand it can turn into cyberbullying against people who are humiliated who turn out to be innocent. The implication of this policy is that there are mitigation measures in the future against the impact of human rights violations, especially to live freely and safely from this phenomenon.
