Abstract

This study aims to determine the enforcement of the Information Act and Electronic Transactions in tackling the black campaign with normative juridical research methods that start from the norms, principles and legislation that exist as positive legal norms.

That according to this research the black campaign is interpreted as an attempt to fill certain positions, especially public positions in unhealthy ways, such as spreading hoaxes, sheep fighting, insults and slander. Black campaigns clearly violate the law and ethics in campaigning, besides the use of black campaigns in social media is felt to be very effective in bringing down political opponents so that in the elections the use of black campaigns violates the principle of fair play / justice.
