Ambivalensi tersebut terlihat dalam gagasan majalah Hai tentang daya tarik seksual, pembagian peran secara seksual dan strategi empati.
The growth of using social media in Indonesia since 2009 has enabled the user to contribute to the online discussion by sharing opinions and feelings, or circulating the digital creativities. Social media gives opportunities for users to be content providers. The number of users takes part in the discussion in social media has brought Indonesia as the capital of the social media world. This label attached to Indonesia since some big cities in Indonesia, such as Jakarta, Yogyakarta, and Bandung recorded as the cities whose residents become the most active social media users in the world. This phenomenon leads to the assumption that social media succeeds in creating public participation. However, that claim is still questionable. Based on data from the Association of Internet service providers (APJII), Internet users dominated by people from the middle class, urban, young and well-educated groups. Some blank spots in Indonesia, including the high price of technology and the lack of quality in operating and using technology, become the problems causing the difficulty in implementing public participation. This paper tried to explore the misleading of the assumption that social media activities in Indonesia have created public participation. It also analyzes how the digital divide becomes the barrier to gain public participation.

This article is motivated by the phenomenon of the ownership of multiple accounts on Instagram among teenagers. Previous research mentioned that a second Instagram account is used to express oneself without worrying that the identity of the users will be recognized by the public. Users feel they can upload anything on Instagram’s second accounts without following Instagram rules’ pressure of perfection. The second accounts become a sphere for users to perform their self-authenticity. The researchers inquire how teenagers use and manage their multiple Instagram accounts as a sphere for exploring themselves. Reflecting on the practice of surveillance between users through social media, including Instagram, the researchers argue that second Instagram accounts function as the sphere for pseudo-liberations for its users. Hence, the researchers also question how freedom is experienced in that sphere. The researchers use digital ethnography to get the answers to the questions. As a result, since the self is socially constructed and self-authentic, the researchers found that second accounts are not liberating their users. The constructed self-authenticity has shifted from the control of their parents and other adults; to their peers’ surveillance.
