Are Social Media Platforms Safe?

Social media platforms, as one of the new media, have become a phenomenon in the world including in Indonesia with an amazing growing number of users. Data from the Indonesian Internet Network User Association (APJII) as of January 2016 reported there were 79 million users of social media in Indonesia. I am confidentthat social media allows all users to become producers of information, present an open space for responding to information, and build a virtual community with discussions in virtual space. However, I am afraid that the flexibility of discussion in social media is implying some negative impacts: the presence and increased intensity of hate speech and insecurity.

Hate speech is a form of intolerance of other groups of people. Another view sees its following impact which considers hate speech as an expression that attacks and encourages violence. As far as I know, this issue is getting more serious when many cases of violence are caused by provocations via social media. I often found attacking sentences to a certain tribe, race or religion. For example, in 2015, the burning of the Tolikara mosque in Papua caused widespread fanfare because of the information confusion on social media.

I believe that almost every social media user has shared their information on their social media, especially on the popular networking sites, like: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Whatsapp. Unfortunately, this data may reveal them to various internet threats, such as: fake profiles or impersonation, viruses, and cybercrime. Fraudsters use deception by: asking for money to the followers on Instagram pretending that they were the real users, selling fraud items at a lower price than the market price, or even sending suspicious links for phishing purposes.

By all means, to reduce the negative effects of social media, the government must formulate better regulations for the digital community. This concept is often referred to as Digital Literacy. It enables people to access, sort and understand different types of information which can be used to improve their quality of life. In addition, one can participate in social life, state and politics by conveying their aspirations in certain channels. Through digital media, one can voice their perspectives and opinions for justice without harming others so that one can participate in social life better.
