Questioning The Essence Of Bureaucratic Neutrality - Dialectical Relationship Between Freedom of Speech and The Impact of Digital Democracy in Indonesia

摘要

As a constitutional state, Indonesian government has authority to make regulation regarding the rampant issue of freedom of expression from Civil Servants, especially in social media. The limitation in the form of restriction for Civil Servants in expressing their opinion which is contradicted with government policy is an implication of the implementation of public service relation concept as the legal basis in behaving and acting for Civil Servants in Indonesia. The purpose of this paper is to create neutral condition for civil servants and to strengthen institutional function of government to stay solid and professional in providing public services. Actually, neutral condition will be achieved if Civil Servants are outside the system and they do not give the space to interest intervention. Also, they do not only criticize, but also providing the solutions.
