Merawat Kemanusiaan
Pendekatan Kritis Terhadap Teknologi Modern
A. Puspo Kuntjoro
ABSTRAK: Berita bohong (hoax) dan ujaran kebencian (hate speech) telah menjadi
fenomena yang cukup sering menyebar di dunia maya terutama media sosial.
Khususnya dalam periode kontestasi politik di Indonesia, hal ini berkembang
menjadi sesuatu yang sangat mengkhawatirkan. Pengalaman telah menunjukkan
bahwa polarisasi dan konfl ik tajam yang diakibatkannya dalam masyarakat
telah menggerus rasa persatuan dan persaudaraan bangsa kita yang majemuk.
Lebih daripada itu, fenomena ini dapat berkembang menjadi krisis kemanusiaan
Indonesia, kemanusiaan yang ramah, toleran, terbuka, adil dan beradab terhadap
sesamanya.Teknologi modern jelas punya andil besar dalam memunculkan
persoalan ini, khususnya teknologi informasi yang berkembang super cepat.
Hoax dan hate speech, misalnya, menjadi mudah tersebar luas dan cepat karena
dimungkinkan oleh media sosial dan algoritmanya. Sejumlah kajian fi losofi s
terhadap teknologi memperlihatkan bahwa teknologi modern bukanlah sekadar
alat yang netral. Teknologi modern membentuk dan mengubah cara pandang
serta cara hidup manusia di dunia. Di samping pendekatan hukum dengan
penerapan Undang-undang ITE (Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik) yang
tanpa kompromi, pendekatan yang kritis terhadap teknologi modern diperlukan
untuk melindungi persatuan dan kemanusiaan Indonesia dari potensi-potensi
negatif yang menyertai teknologi modern.
KATA KUNCI: hoax, hate speech, politik identitas, globalisasi, persatuan,
kemanusiaan Indonesia, teknologi modern, enframing, challenging-forth, mediasi
teknologi, detox teknologi, moralising technology.
Abstract: Hoax and hate speech have become phenomena which often spread in
cyberspace, especially in social media. Particularly during the period of political contestation in Indonesia, this has developed into something very alarming. Experience
has shown that the polarization and the sharp confl icts which result from it in society
have eroded our nation’s sense of unity and brotherhood. Moreover, this phenomenon
can develop into humanity crisis in Indonesia, humanity that is friendly, tolerant,
open, just and civilized towards each other. Modern technology clearly has a big
role in engendering this problem, especially information technology that develops
super fast. Hoax and hate speech, for example, become easily and quickly widespread
because they are made possible by social media and its algorithms. A number of
philosophical studies of technology show that modern technology is not just a neutral
tool. Modern technology shapes and changes people’s perspectives and ways of life in
the world. In addition to the legal approach via the uncompromising application of
the ITE (Electronic Information & Transaction) Law, a critical approach to modern
technology is needed to protect Indonesia’s unity and humanity from the negative
potential which accompanies modern technology.
KEYWORDS: hoax, hate speech, identity politics, globalization, unity, Indonesian
