Abstract

This study examines the politeness strategies and principles employed by social media users in the comment section of the Instagram account @infombg regarding the Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) program. As a strategic national policy, the MBG program has sparked widespread debate on social media, often testing the boundaries of linguistic ethics. Using a descriptive qualitative research design, this study examines netizens’ comments to identify speech patterns with forensic value. Data were collected through purposive sampling and analyzed using Brown and Levinson’s politeness approach and Leech’s politeness principles, integrated within a forensic linguistic framework to interpret intent, potential harm, and distinguish between constructive criticism and harmful discourse. The results reveal various strategies, including Bald on Record, Positive, Negative Politeness, and Off Record, as well as compliance with or violations of the maxims of wisdom, generosity, acceptance, humility, agreement, and sympathy. This study emphasizes the crucial role of forensic linguistics in analyzing digital communication to ensure public discourse remains ethical and to assist law enforcement in distinguishing between freedom of speech and hate speech.
