Abstract

Social construction of technology (SCOT) hold on what known as a reason for accepting or refusing technology based on social reality. When we are investigating beliefs of technology, all explanations must be symmetrical. Symmetry creates freedom of interpretation, this means there are various different interpretation of the meaning of technology among the social groups. On the other word, there is a freedom in designing towards technical solution. The problems discussed in this article are about freedom of expression in cyberspace with SCOT perspective. The research is qualitative with empiric law and technological philosophy approach. The findings obtained are: first, there has been a displacement of the philosophy from the real world (wild west) into cyberspace (wild web); second, excessive freedom of expression in the web performed by people or content in Indonesian language are dominated with cases of fraud, defamation, and crimes against decency; and third, the existing laws have not been able to solve the freedom of expression completely in cyberspace, which breaks the limit or violates the law. It takes an understanding of technological philosophy and cyberspace, ethics on using and communicating via the internet, and in the effort to establish society with good information culture
