Hello @ayijufridar, Thank you for contributing to RealityHubs.
This is a nice post with an interesting subject matter.
The issue of fake news and hoaxes is a global matter and recently it has been utilized greatly by various parties to strengthen their positions and weaken the positions of their opponents.
I'm not surprised to see that disinformation is being used in Indonesia as a tool for vanquishing enemies especially in the area of politics as it is also being used the same way over here in Nigeria even when there are no elections.
Recently, a human right activist was arrested by our government for trying to spark a revolution and some hours later I saw a post on social media supposedly made by a past police IG about how he had apprehended the activist for a sexual offence and how he jumped bail.
The truth to the statement is something I cannot establish though I'm already suspecting that it's fake news.
It'd be nice if measures were to be taken to counter the issue of spreading disinformation.
I love this topic and the post was great to read though some parts of it were hard to understand.
It would have been nicer if you had given more than one instance of hoax in your country.
Overall, you did a great job and we are looking forward to future contributions from you.
