Donny Budi Utoyo, General Chair of Siberkreasi, reveals how to receive hoax news.
Donny revealed that there are several steps you can take when you receive fake news, one of which is checking the source of the authenticity of the news.
“If you get news, if the information isn't necessarily true, don't spread it straight away. You don't need to share the gossip,” explained Donny in the What's Up With Digital talkshow held by Trans Media at Balai Sarbini, Newsdelivers.com on Wednesday (7/2).
The public can also confirm the authenticity of the news via the site https://linktr.ee/cekhoaks.
“To find out whether it's true or not, always open Check Hoax, there is a special engine that we can take a database of all the information. We use that, we search,” he said.
Apart from that, Puadi, a member of the Election Supervisory Body or Bawaslu, also opened complaints and reports regarding the spread of hoax news about the election.
“Indeed, Bawaslu is in the process of submitting violation reports regarding hoaxes. We know the search terms, we have the IMM application, so friends, for viewers, if there is information that is a hoax in any form, you can report it to Bawaslu,” explained Puadi.
“We have IMM.bawaslu.go.id. So like this, if there is hoax information, then with IMM it is easy to see whether it is a hoax or not,” he continued.
The What's Up with Digital talkshow was held today, Wednesday (7/2) featuring a number of government and corporate speakers as well as artists.
Transmedia is collaborating with the Ministry of Communication and Information to discuss the rise of fake news or hoaxes spreading in the digital world ahead of the 2024 Election.
