Recently, a number of foreign media disseminated news about Facebook's actions to delete accounts, groups, and pages, which were considered to carry out coordinated inauthentic and potentially misleading behaviors.
Account deletions are carried out in the United Arab Emirates, Nigeria, Egypt and Indonesia. But if you pay attention to the many substance of these issues that need to be straightened out.
To be sure, the news is still in the form of conjecture because it has not been studied in depth related to the truth.
Because according to the results of research from Oxford, Samantha Bradshaw and Philip N Howard, it actually shows that politicians in Indonesia do use buzzers, however, the buzzer team in the country is relatively small compared to other countries.
Only politicians and private contractors use buzzers to manipulate public opinion in Indonesia. The study also found no data related to the Indonesian government manipulating public opinion.
While in China, Cambodia, Russia, Iran and Israel found more than three ministries or institutions (K / L) that manipulate public opinion.
The capacity of the manipulating cyber troops is low because it involves only a few people. They are active during the election and tend to decrease after the election.
In fact, the presence of the buzzer is currently actually detrimental to President Jokowi, because the content delivered by the buzzers is often disinformation. This can lead to conflict in the community.
This was fully realized by the government, as conveyed by the Presidential Chief of Staff, Moeldoko. Logically, it is impossible for the buzzers to work for the government if it harms the interests of the government itself.
There must be a shared awareness to reduce current political tension. Therefore, the way the buzzers communicate is reorganized with diction that does not attack and vilify other parties.
Related to buzzer in Indonesia, this is what must be understood together. Don't be beaten flat but ignore the facts.
