Abstract

This paper examines the emergence of political cyber conflict in Indonesia’s social media. The researcher investigates the war of Facebook statuses that emerged from the blasphemy case of Jakarta’s governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama. The BTP blasphemy case split society into two groups - protesters agasint and supporters of the verdict against BTP. This study uses Critical Discourse Analysis to reveal the dynamics of public sphere and contestation of power as well as the mode of speech among a sample of netizens. The findings show various language tools used in the social media to achieve the hidden goals of each group. While it contributes to the pattern of grassroots communication, it also shows the mediatisation phenomenon of Indonesia social media users in the context of mobilizing public opinion to achieve certain political targets
