Abstract

The proliferation of social media has transformed how Human Rights (HR) issues are articulated, contested, and politicized within digital public spheres. This study examines the discourse surrounding the hashtag #IndonesiaHumanRightsSOS on Twitter in December 2020 as a public response to the alleged extrajudicial killing of six members of the Front Pembela Islam (FPI) by Indonesian police at KM50 of the Jakarta–Cikampek Toll Road. By analyzing 106,903 tweets from more than 45,000 accounts within a 72-hour period, this qualitative-descriptive study employs digital discourse analysis (DDA) to identify discourse forms, human rights enforcement challenges, and post-truth characteristics. The findings reveal the dominance of demands for justice and accountability, expressions of public solidarity, and condemnation of state actors. Key challenges include impunity, procedural injustice, institutional trust crisis, and politicization. This study contributes to the advancement of digital discourse analysis in the post-truth context in Indonesia and underscores the importance of strengthening critical digital literacy in Civic Education.
