Radicalization on the Internet Strengthens
Head of the National Counter-Terrorism Agency (BNPT) Commissioner General Boy Rafli Amar in a BNPT Year-End Press Statement,
said the phenomenon of individual terrorist actors is still a special concern of BNPT. This is because terrorists experience radicalization through cyberspace which then makes them a dangerous figure who is ready to carry out acts of terror. “The phenomenon of participating in training in cyberspace is certainly dangerous. So we anticipate, starting from the family level, digital literacy is carried out for the community so that it is not easy to believe in narratives related to terrorism," he said. From January to December 2021, more than 600 potentially radical sites or accounts have been identified by BNPT and then taken down in collaboration with the Ministry of Communication and Information. The deleted site contained propaganda content with detailed information on attacks (409), anti-State Unitary Republic of Indonesia (147), anti-Pancasila (85), intolerant (7), and takfiri (2). In addition, there is also content on terrorism financing and training. The content is ongoing propaganda. Therefore, he ensures that BNPT will also continue to anticipate it. If there is content that leads to a violation of the law, BNPT will link it with investigators from the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency, as well as with the Special Detachment 88 Anti-terror Police. "During the pandemic, the trend of terrorism tends to decrease. However, there is still a threat through digital media. Radicalization targets young people because they have used digital media, as well as terrorism propaganda using digital media," said Boy Rafli.
