The Omnibus Law is a recently enacted legislation that has been implemented within the regulatory framework of Indonesia. This legal framework, often denoted as the Universal Sweeping Law, consolidates multiple legal norms into a singular regulation. The Omnibus law encompasses a total of 11 distinct clusters, one of which pertains specifically to labor regulations. Nevertheless, the Omnibus law has elicited diverse reactions among the Indonesian populace, particularly on the Twitter platform. The researchers employed scraping techniques to extract tweets from Twitter users. A total of 3067 data points were collected during the period from March 20, 2022 to May 20, 2022. The data were subsequently categorized into positive, negative, and neutral sentiments. They were then assigned weights and classified using the Suport Vector Machine (SVM) method. The objective was to identify the public's sentiments towards the Omnibus law and evaluate the accuracy of the Support Vector Machine (SVM) method. The accuracy of the SVM algorithm with a linear kernel is found to be 97.05% based on its classification performance. There is a greater level of public concern and attention directed towards positive responses in relation to the Omnibus law, as opposed to negative responses. The positive responses encompassed the provision of favorable legislation to assist young entrepreneurs, whereas the negative responses pertained to concerns regarding persistently low wages for workers, despite the implementation of the Omnibus Law.
