Abstract
In the Indonesian dictionary, social media is known as “dunia maya” which means a space that seems real but doesn't exist, what appears to exist but does not exist and it should not have such a real effect. Then, it should not be treated as a main source of information and it also shouldn't be able to exert influence on the authorities to do something HRD should not consider social media activity as a benchmark for one's ethics. However, it is not how it is in nowadays situation. We see there is confusion by the public in understanding the space and effects of social media. Here, we understand that the public sees social media as a media of communication, which is supposed to transform a message according to the platform and not to represent someone's situation. So, in this study, we want to emphasize the knot of the misunderstanding from a communication point of view which will be delivered by looking for space and proximity as a sign of communication that goes.
