Indonesia’s 2024 election was massive:
🇮🇩 204M voters
🗳️ Dozens of parties
📱 213M internet users
But behind the scenes, another campaign was running—fast, invisible, and deeply effective: disinformation.

Up next:
Final wrap-up thread: What the Indonesia case teaches all democracies

We’ll distill the series into key lessons—and where to go from here.

Can Fact-Checkers Keep Up?

In Indonesia’s 2024 election, fact-checkers worked around the clock.
They flagged lies
Posted corrections
Ran digital literacy campaigns
And still—the lies kept spreading
Here’s what worked, what didn’t, and why it matters

Next up:
⚖️ Can fact-checkers keep up?

We’ll look at what Indonesia’s watchdogs tried—what worked, what didn’t, and why good info isn’t enough in a bad system.

#ElectionMisinformation #Polarization

Jember is a district in East Java with over 2 million people.
Diverse, semi-rural, politically active.

It became a ground zero for observing how election disinformation affects everyday relationships—not just national narratives.

Lies don’t win just because they’re persuasive.
They win because they’re engineered for the system.

Fixing disinfo means redesigning the architecture.
Not just deleting posts.

Let’s break down how the platforms themselves helped lies win.

Platforms don’t just show us what’s new.
They decide what we see first.
What we see often.
And what we never see at all.
2/19

The next time you wonder how lies win—look at the platforms.

Not just what was said. But where, how fast, and why it spread.

Disinfo doesn’t need a strategy—if the system already gives it one.

#DigitalThreats #PlatformPower #ElectionMisinformation

Indonesia’s 2024 election saw over 12,000 false claims flood the internet in 3 months.
But they didn’t spread evenly.

Some platforms played a much bigger role than others—especially the ones built for speed, secrecy, and emotion.

Let’s break it down.

#ElectionMisinformation

Final takeaway:
The most dangerous lie isn’t the one you hear once.
It’s the one you hear ten times.

Lies don’t need proof—just repetition.
Let’s not let our minds be programmed by what feels familiar.

#DigitalLiteracy #CognitiveBias #ElectionMisinformation

#ElectionMisinformation #CognitiveBias

The researchers called it out plainly:

“Repeated exposure to misinformation reinforces cognitive biases.”
And the most powerful of those biases?
🔁 The illusion of truth effect
2/16

Indonesia’s 2024 election was more than a national event.

It was a case study in 21st century electoral vulnerability.
If we ignore it, we repeat it.
And we’re running out of time.
