Abstract

This article aims to examine the interrelationships between politics that exist in virtual society, and their relationship with self-identity reflected in current anonymity on social media. This article uses qualitative research methods, through existing observation and literature studies. Technological advances form a new world called the virtual world. The concept of identity in virtual society is a difference of opinion between destitopians, neofuturists and technicians. The presence of this virtual world makes people free to become anonymous or people without identity. In the political contestation of anonymity can give the public the freedom to argue, while on the other hand anonymity can have a negative impact which can lead to conflict.
