Indonesia Expresses Concern Over Protest Information Spread, Citing Disruption to Order

Concerns are being raised in Indonesia regarding the potential disruption of public order due to the spread of misinformation about protests. Komdigi has pointed out that inaccurate information dissemination could negatively impact societal stability. According to Komdigi's view, false information circulating about protest plans or intentions can create unnecessary confusion and anxiety among citizens, making it difficult to maintain security and order. The rapid spread of information, particularly through social media, carries the risk of misdirecting people's actions before facts can be verified. While protests are a means of expressing diverse opinions in Indonesia, there are instances where information is distorted or intentionally manipulated. Komdigi fears that such situations could undermine the overall stability of society and is calling for more responsible information behavior from both information senders and receivers. They maintain that calm judgment and action based on accurate information are essential for sustaining a healthy democratic society.
