Legal Literacy - This article discusses how virality affects law enforcement in Indonesia. In the digital age, events that go viral on social media often accelerate and influence legal processes. From raising public awareness to influencing judges' decisions, the phenomenon of virality has become a supremacy in the legal system. However, this article also highlights the risks, such as the spread of false information and public pressure that can affect justice. This discussion delves into the balance between the role of social media in civic engagement and the need for fair and objective law enforcement.

Virality: A Foundation of Law Enforcement

In the current era, virality has become an instant method to carve justice. With technological modernity, everything can be uploaded and traced on social media. Wherever, whenever, whatever the situation, everyone can know what is happening in parts of the world. In fact, technology also permeates the legal process in Indonesia. This is evidenced by the fact that something that goes viral can create a fast legal process and even collective awareness for law enforcers. The power of the "virality principle" in the legal process has even led to the emergence of the hashtag "no viral, no justice" on one of the social media platforms. It seems that virality is a shortcut for victims to seize their rights.

Of course, to achieve a specific goal, an organizing exponent is needed, and so is law. The law cannot work automatically even though there is a norm stipulated in Article 1 Paragraph (3) 1945 Constitution which stipulates that Indonesia is a rule of law, there must still be a role for law enforcers in the process. Unfortunately, now, law enforcers themselves are the main actors in undermining the law. For this reason, the principle of virality is present as a critic and helper of law enforcers in carrying out their duties. It can also be said as a form of public distrust created by law enforcement officials.

Virality can be categorized as the highest legal supremacy in the current legal situation. Unfortunately, virality is more trusted by the public in processing a case than reporting it to the authorities. Then, if this continues to occur in the process of establishing a legal culture, what impact will it have on law enforcement?
