In the digital age, propaganda takes on a new face through social media and digital platforms, becoming a global narrative battleground. An investigation by Narasi, Remotivi, and the Center for Information Resilience highlights the role of media outlets such as Tribun Timur in this information war.
With a focus on the Ukraine war, more than 18,000 videos released from February 2022 to June 2023 were analyzed, showing the dominance of Russian-Ukrainian war content.
This analysis reveals how KZbin's algorithms are manipulated to promote certain content, creating a misguided reality for viewers.
Nearly 60% of the Eastern Tribune's videos were war-related, with comments dominated by the Russian language, suggesting a foreign influence in the narrative presented.
Further investigation indicated the involvement of Russian web forces in this operation, with evidence pointing to St. Petersburg, Russia.
In-depth experiments and analysis revealed how Indonesian-language Ukrainian war content attracted audiences in Russia, including the alleged involvement of Russian tourists in Bali in this propaganda operation.
In conclusion, the case of Tribun Timur illustrates how local media can be caught up in global propaganda networks, with Russia as the main actor in manipulating digital algorithms to influence public opinion. This shows the importance of awareness and caution in consuming digital content in this era of connected information.
