Dimana permisifnya? Penyalahgunaan kekuasaan itu acapkali sumir, degree penyalahgunaan akan sangat besar sekali bila per-undang2an menunjang untuk itu. Dalam kaitan dgn Indonesia banyak hal yg bisa berakibat penyalahgunaan kekuasaan, kalau anda menginginkan mengurangi jelas sekali berbagai pasal karet seperti penodaan agama, penghinaan, kebencian, dll. itu yang penilaiannya dan penerapannya sangat subjektif sekali harus direvisi. ---In GELORA45@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Kelihatannya Anda permisif sekali terhadap kesewenangan &penyalahgunaan kekuasaan.

Photograph: Facebook Police in Indonesia believe they have uncovered a clandestine fake news operation designed to corrupt the political process and destabilise the government. In a string of arrests across the archipelago in recent weeks, authorities have revealed the inner workings of a self-proclaimed cyber-jihadist network known as the Muslim Cyber Army (MCA). The network is accused of spreading fake news and hate speech to inflame religious and ethnic schisms; fan paranoia around gay men and lesbians, alleged communists and Chinese people; and spread defamatory content to undermine the president. Police say the network was orchestrated through a central Whatsapp group called the Family MCA. One wing was tasked with stockpiling divisive content to disseminate, while a separate “sniper” team was employed to hack accounts and spread computer viruses on the electronic devices of their opponents. The arrest of 14 individuals is the second such syndicate police have busted in the last year – deepening fears around Indonesia’s vulnerability to the pernicious spread of fake news. False accounts and lies In the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation, among the top five biggest users of Facebook and Twitter globally, some say it is unsurprising that rising religiosity and racial division is playing out viciously online.. It is in this environment that the Muslim Cyber Army was born and has since thrived, in a digital ecosystem flush with bots, fake accounts and lies. A Guardian investigation conducted over several months uncovered one coordinated cluster of the Muslim Cyber Army on Twitter. FacebookTwitterPinterest Identical tweets from bots. Photograph: Twitter The investigation identified: - A matryoshka doll-like system of more than 100 bots or semi-automated accounts. - Links between the cyber army and opposition parties, as well as the military. - Details of 103 cases of brutal “bounty hunting” incited by the “cyber-jihadists”. The network identified by the Guardian was created for the sole purpose of tweeting inflammatory content and messages designed to amplify social and religious division, and push a hardline Islamist and anti-government line. Tell-tale signs of a bot The messaging was cleverly designed to appeal to broad Islamic sympathies. Posts about the persecution of Muslims in Myanmar and Palestine, for example, were mixed in with domestically inspired vitriol, hatred for the Chinese minority, or support for hardline Indonesian figures and their protests. The network, which functioned between July and November 2017, had all the tell-tale signs of a bot, or network of semi-automated accounts. Posts were often identical in nature, with the same text, meme or hashtag repeated dozens of times. The accounts would sometimes tweet up to 30 times a day. All accounts were opaque, with no name or location, and followed identifiable patterns. One group of 30 accounts, for example, featured striking profile photos of bearded, Viking-esque men, with the names of different Indonesian military bases or agencies, or government posts. Another set featured accounts with pictures of pigs. The discovery illuminates how different interest groups operated within the MCA network for nefarious political ends. It also highlights how easy it is to game social media networks, especially Twitter. With an army of bots, semi-automated and fake accounts, it is relatively simple to sway public perception, propel a hashtag into a trending list, or engineer an online poll.
