The youth of the independence era will be busy with a truce, while today's youth or millennial generation are busy with social media. The young men, armed with sharp bamboo against the invaders, but now young men are busy with gadgets to achieve self-existence.
Moreover, in the post-truth era as we are experiencing. The number of people often fall asleep with the ease of accessing information in cyberspace both on the internet and various social media. They only seek and believe what is appropriate for their needs without knowing the real truth.Â
Then, the number of parties use this condition as a chance to spread hoaxes and even radicalism propaganda in the form of writing, pictures, or videos. As a result, people with low literacy levels will be easily provoked by these contents.
So, how about us? The young generation, mostly known as millennials, the next generation, will become provocateurs in cyberspace? Participating in spreading quality content?
Ladies and gentleman,
Millennials are 17-36-year-old people. Those who now act as students, early jobbers, and young parents, those who always intersect with communication technology in their daily lives. Thus, as millennials, we should be able to make a positive contribution to maintain the harmony and tolerance of the Indonesian people who have been well maintained.

Millennials who are very familiar with cyberspace are really potentially to make good changes through cyberspace. It is good for them to be volunteer peace spreaders to prevent national disintegration.Â
As well as their creative spirit and high spirit they should not only become consumers but also be able to create positive and educational content to minimize various negative information such as hate speeches or hoaxes that circulate in cyberspace. Then how to do it?
It's good for us, as millennials, to be able to use social media as a tool that makes it easier for people to help each other and work together. Like distributing donors collecting posters for victims of natural disasters on various social media accounts, so that all citizens of social media users will know and help ease the burden on those victims.
In addition, we can also support the development of the nationalism of social media users by uploading videos or photos of tourist attractions in Indonesia. Accounts that offer traveling content specifically on Youtube can positively influence the interest in traveling to the audience, especially followers of the account. Or uploading other contents that contain Indonesia's natural wealth, making social media users become aware and increasingly proud even though some users have not seen firsthand all the natural beauty that exists in Indonesia.
