Abstract:
Indonesia is a state of the law as stipulated in Article 1 paragraph (3) of the third
amendment of the 1945 Constitution. The state sets rules and policies to regulate society.
The power exercised by the government/ruler can be interpreted as state action. This
includes the enactment of the Criminal Code, commonly known as the Criminal Code,
which is confirmed by Law Number 73 of 1958 concerning the enactment of Law Number
1 of 1946 of the Republic of Indonesia concerning criminal law regulations for the entired
territory of the Republic of Indonesia and amending the Criminal Code. The Draft
Criminal Code (RKUHP), which has not yet been ratified, has drawn a lot of criticism in
Indonesia because it is considered over criminalization. The amount of criticism
conveyed by the public has caused the RKUHP to become one of the trending topics or
the most frequently discussed topics in 2022. The Draft Criminal Code will be passed in
July 2022 by the government and the House of Representatives. One of the articles that
are being discussed by the public is the punishment for people who insult the government,
especially on social media. Some people think that the article deviates from Indonesia's
democratic system. With the advancement of technology, many people complain about
the changes in the Criminal Code on social media, especially Twitter. Therefore, the
researcher aimed to determine the accuracy of the results of public sentiment toward the
2022 Criminal Code on Twitter used the Random Forest method. In this study, data
