Abstract

Information globalization has placed Indonesia as part of the world's information society, requiring the establishment of arrangements for the management of information and electronic transactions at the national level. In line with these developments, the internet has changed everything, from the way people think, communicate, connect, work, shop, to the pattern of people in making love. Sexual access can now be easily obtained, from contemporary pornographic content to online prostitution, produced and distributed massively and very quickly on the internet.The idea of sexuality that used to be taboo now obtains a space to discuss. Through the internet, sexuality is used as a recreational arena and a biological necessity as an essential outlet for desire and lust. As Foucault shows that sexuality is not merely a biological drive, but is a form of behavior and thoughts that are subordinated by power relations that are carried out for the purpose other objectives outside the interests of sexuality itself. It is this power that should be used as "social control", legal decisions, to government regulation of sexuality freedom on the internet. The purpose of this study is to find out how the reality of online prostitution is now growing and its relation to government arrangements. This study uses a virtual ethnographic method. The results showed that the Internet became a medium of online prostitution development that increases rapidly so that almost abandon the government power to regulate it.

Summary

PENDAHULUAN

Hadirnya internet sebagai media komunikasi telah ikut mengubah hampir seluruh konstelasi kehidupan manusia, tak terkecuali hingga yang paling privat sekalipun. Globalisasi bersama modernisasi menawarkan kebebasan akses dan berbagai kemudahan bagi setiap orang dalam memenuhi kebutuhan hidupnya. Di satu sisi mekanisme kekuatan pasar global yang juga ikut bersama arus globalisasi ini telah mendorong setiap orang yang didatanginya untuk menerima dan menikmati produkproduk yang dihasilkan sehingga anomali sosial berupa konsumerisme, westernisasi dan sindrom budaya popular muncul dan menjangkiti masyarakat. Kemunculan berbagai fenomena yang berdampak pada berubahnya relasi dan praktik-praktik sosial dalam kehidupan masyarakat akibat digitalisasi semakin menegaskan perlunya keterlibatan pemerintah secara lebih jauh. Wacana yang dibawa oleh teknologi digital berupa “kemudahan dan kebebasan” telah membawa setiap orang untuk beralih dari dunia nyata yang penuh hambatan dan keterkungkungan kepada dunia virtual yang menawarkan berbagai kemudahan dan kebebasan. Wacana kemudahan dan kebebasan berelasi dengan kepentingan aktor memberikan struktur peluang berupa tindakan untuk menggunakan media online sebagai instrumen kekuasaan demi mengejar suatu kepentingan.
