How hoaxes work :
There are two factors a
person easily believes in hoax news from a psychological perspective, namely
when the information obtained is in accordance with what he thinks and when
someone gets positive information that is not necessarily true.
The spread of hoax is
also influenced by people's experience in using search engine and experience in
making hoax news that is more neatly structured and systematic according to
Lazonder, Biemans, & Wopereis, 2000.
Although many sites
have been blocked, hoax news has not yet disappeared from human life. There
have even been casualties resulting from hoax news received such as hoax news

3.
The role of government in hoax news :
In dealing with hoax
news, the government has established several regulations that will make the perpetrators
and disseminators of hoax news bound by sanctions based on the Criminal Code,
Law No.11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions (ITE), Law
No.40 of 2008 concerning the Elimination of Racial and Ethnic Discrimination.
In addition, the
government has also blocked hoax sites, although this has not succeeded in
making the perpetrators stop making and spreading hoaxes.
Several other ways the
government does in fighting and preventing the spread of hoax are laws
regarding the spread of hoax such as Article 28 paragraph 1 and 2 of Law No. 11
of 2008 concerning ITE, Articles 14 and 15 of Law No. 1 of 1946, Articles 311
and 378 of the Criminal Code, as well as Law No. 40 of 2008 concerning the
Elimination of Racial and Ethnic Discrimination are a number of legal products
that can be used to combat the spread of hoaxes. In addition to legal channels,
the government has also created a national cyber agency by utilizing the
International Health and Trust + Positive program which acts as a censor and
blocks hoax distribution sites.
In each journalistic
product a QR code has been applied. This will facilitate the investigation of
the article makers that contain hoax news.
In addition to law and
social media, education has also become one of the platforms to fight and
prevent the spread of hoaxes by increasing reading interest. based on the study
of "Most Littered Nation In the World" conducted by Central
Connecticut State University, Indonesia was ranked 60 out of 61 countries about
reading interest (Skip, 2016). Therefore, education must increase interest in
reading to add insight to the younger generation so that it is not easy to believe
the news without being accompanied by truth.
4.
The role of the media and society :
To fight and prevent
the spread of hoaxes, Facebook makes a feature that will put a dispute mark on
each article link that contains news about hoaxes. This will make it easier for
the public to report articles that are not accompanied by the truth.
Besides Facebook, Line
also tries to fight hoaxes through “Line New”.
In addition to the
social media platform, the community also began to initiate the Turn Back Hoax
program, where hoax information will be identified and published about its
truth through various media, including the Facebook group and through the Turn
Back Hoax website itself.

My
Essay :
United eradicate hoaxes!!!
Hoaxes
are fake news that is intentionally made by people who also know that the news
is fakes. Fake news is written and published usually with the aim of misleading
the minds of others. hoaxes can also
damage the good name of others, damage peace but provide financial or political
benefits to hoax spreaders. hoaxes often
use sensational, dishonest, or directly fabricated news to increase the number
of readers. Hoax has no positive
side. Therefore, to eradicate hoaxes,
the government must be firm against the spread of hoaxes.
There are two
factors a person easily believes in hoax news from a psychological perspective,
namely when the information obtained is in accordance with what he thinks and
when someone gets positive information that is not necessarily true. The spread
of hoax is also influenced by people's experience in using search engine and
experience in making hoax news that is more neatly structured and systematic
according to Lazonder, Biemans, & Wopereis, 2000. There have even been
casualties resulting from hoax news received such as hoax news about missing
children which makes people more aware of others.
In dealing with
hoax news, the government has established several regulations that will make
the perpetrators and disseminators of hoax news bound by sanctions based on the
Criminal Code, Law No.11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic
Transactions (ITE), Law No.40 of 2008 concerning the Elimination of Racial and
Ethnic Discrimination. The government has also blocked hoax sites, although
this has not succeeded in making the perpetrators stop making and spreading
hoaxes. Several other ways the government does in fighting and preventing the
spread of hoax are laws regarding the spread of hoax such as Article 28
paragraph 1 and 2 of Law No. 11 of 2008 concerning ITE, Articles 14 and 15 of
Law No. 1 of 1946, Articles 311 and 378 of the Criminal Code, as well as Law
No. 40 of 2008 concerning the Elimination of Racial and Ethnic Discrimination
are a number of legal products that can be used to combat the spread of hoaxes.
In addition to legal channels, the government has also created a national cyber
agency by utilizing the International Health and Trust + Positive program which
acts as a censor and blocks hoax distribution sites. In social media, each
journalistic product a QR code has been applied. This will facilitate the
investigation of the article makers that contain hoax news. Besides to law and
social media, education has also become one of the platforms to fight and
prevent the spread of hoaxes by increasing reading interest. based on the study
of "Most Littered Nation In the World" conducted by Central

reading to add insight to the younger generation so that it is not easy to
believe the news without being accompanied by truth.
Some steps made
in some social media also function to fight and prevent the spread of hoax
news. Like too fight and prevent the spread of hoaxes, Facebook makes a feature
that will put a dispute mark on each article link that contains news about
hoaxes. This will make it easier for the public to report articles that are not
accompanied by the truth. Besides Facebook, Line also tries to fight hoaxes
through “Line New”. In addition to the social media platform, the community
also began to initiate the Turn Back Hoax program, where hoax information will
be identified and published about its truth through various media, including
the Facebook group and through the Turn Back Hoax website itself.
In
conclusion, the government, society and social media are agents who play an
important role in fighting and preventing the spread of hoax news. Communities
need to be equipped with knowledge of the internet Healthy with media literacy
so they can recognize the characteristics of hoax news, and news recipients can
access, analyze, evaluate, in taking the meaning of news.
