Abstract
Legal cases that occur in today's society are more often found in cyberspace, which is on social media. Hate speech is still often found on social media, especially Twitter. COVID-19 pandemic has caused all activities to be paralyzed. The government has made a policy for all people to work from home. Start working from home, worship from home, and study from home. All activities that cause crowds are cancelled. There are some people who feel that the policies related to COVID-19 are not optimal. This gives rise to conflicting opinions and sometimes causes disputes in them. These opinions often lead to hate speech, resulting in legal violations. This study aims to analyse hate speech acts along with the speech events behind the netizens posting their comments on Twitter social media. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The data source is in the form of netizens' hate speech in the Twitter comment column related to the COVID-19 news.
