With the development of the use of the Information and Electronic Transactions Law today, there are various kinds of news that are not true circulating very quickly and rapidly which corners the government. In fact, these reports are hoaxes made by outside parties (foreign countries) to threaten the stability of domestic security in Indonesia and can trigger divisions between tribes, religions, and races. The act that threatens the stability of the Home Affairs Ministry, history records, Nazi Germany used the politics of "Propaganda" to rule the world. The politics of "Propaganda" is untrue news that is continuously reported to produce the truth desired by the German authorities at that time. This is what is assumed to be done by outside parties (foreign countries) as irresponsible parties, so that it can damage the order of life of the nation and one homeland, Indonesia. As the constitutional order created by the "founding fathers" as the Founding Fathers of the Nation, nationalism, and the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. The ITE Law can be a social engineering tool to defend, dispel, and punish perpetrators who make fake news (hoax) on social media. Social engineering aims to protect the divisions between Tribes, Religions, and Races (SARA) to create the goal of state life, namely: "Social justice for all Indonesian people". The idea and idea of this research are that the Electronic Transaction Information Law can be used as a resistance for the Government to "counter" hoax attacks from outside parties that threaten the stability of the Home Affairs Ministry, which does not want peace in Indonesia to be well maintained.
