manipulate public opinion
over major social
networking platforms, such

77. SUMMARY
• Cyber troops and computational propaganda has been used in Indonesia
since as early as 2012.
• The main drivers of the activities are political events, especially general
elections.
• However, after the 2014 presidential election, the polarization is getting
bigger, supported by many new cyber troops and better computational
propaganda techniques.
• The platform mainly used by cyber troops and computational propaganda
is Twitter, then incorporates blogs, Facebook, IG, YouTube, and now
WhatsApp to disseminate their messages.
• In the future, cyber troops and computational propaganda will likely still
be used with better techniques and platforms.
