Tribratanews.polri.go.id - Jakarta. In the era of technology 4.0, we must be more careful in social media, pals of the police. Make sure you don't consume information that turns out to be a hoax.
The meaning of hoax itself is information that is engineered to cover up accurate information.
The rapid dissemination of information certainly has a positive side and a negative side. Where the positive side shows an increase in the absorption of information in people's daily lives. However, the negative side is the quality and correctness of the information, which is challenging to ascertain, plus the weak literacy ability of the community in filtering information.
Social media as a tool to receive this information has become a common thing used by the people of Indonesia. Only a matter of minutes or even seconds information can spread quickly.
Certain elements sometimes use the rapid dissemination of information to spread hate news, provocations, and hoaxes, which sometimes negatively affect the community, including the younger generation.
Therefore, cross-check the information you get from social media and don't forget to adhere to ethics and manners in social media and online media.
