A quarter of a million candidates are running for posts in this year’s general elections in Indonesia. Legislators, councillors and a new president are all being chosen by some 205 million voters.
And more than half of those voters are young people. Teresa Tang speaks to our correspondents to find out why the battleground has moved online for the presidential hopefuls.
For the most part, this is unknown country, but here’s what the Hong Kong target might have done to place the scam and what we’ll all need to perform moving forward for private video calls.
To determine who you are speaking to, primary employ visual cues. If you’re unsure, ask your video conference partner to write a word or phrase on paper and record it for the camera. Deepfakes still ca n’t perform complex movements in real time. Deepfakes may find it challenging to reality imitate in real-time gestures like touching their ears or waving their hands, so you might ask them to choose up a local book or do something special.
Next, pay attention to the teeth. Watch out for eyelid updating discrepancies or odd facial expressions that go beyond the usual connection hiccup.
Third, use multi-factor verification. To ensure that members are who they claim to be, consider holding a secondary talk during delicate sessions via email, SMS, or an id game.
Fourth, utilize additional safe channels. You and the other attendees of important meetings could use an encrypted messaging apps like Signal to ensure your personalities or validate decisions, such as financial dealings, through those same channels.
Update your application, second. If your video conferencing software has security features to find deepfakes, make sure you’re using the most recent version. ( Zoom Video Communications did not respond to inquiries about whether it intends to provide its users with access to such detection technology. )
Avoid unidentified video conferencing platforms, fifth. Use well-known platforms with somewhat robust security measures, such as Zoom or Google Meet, especially for sensitive meetings.
Seventh, keep an eye out for unusual behavior and action. Some tactics have stood the test of time. Be wary of last-minute meetings that involve important decisions, urgent requests for money, or changes to someone’s tone, language, and speaking fashion. Beware of any attempt to jump a decision because swindlers frequently employ stress techniques.
In what has been referred to as the first Semanggi shooting on November 13, 1998, in Jakarta, student activist Bernardinus Realino Norma Irmawan, who was 20 at the time, was killed with a” standard military bullet.”
When Wawan, as his family called him, was still alive, they may start a conversation about his time in college at the breakfast table, but these topics immediately veered toward politics.
They discussed the necessity of ending corruption and bribery as well as the value of the rule of law. They wanted to discover Suharto and his allies, who had just resigned as president, brought to justice.
Wawan, who by that point had been constantly advocating for legal rights, joined thousands of students in a sit-down demonstration near Atma Jaya University and the Semanggi bridge on November 13, 1998, to express their suspicion of Suharto’s son, former president BJ Habibie.  ,
Life ammunition was fired by the government in retaliation. Wawan, one of 17 people killed, did not make it house that evening.
Mdm Maria and other protesters have carried black umbrellas in front of Jakarta’s National Palace every Thursday to remember the survivors of the killings and kidnappings.
On January 18 of this year, the Kamisan protest—Kamis means Thursday in Bahasa Indonesia—hit its 17th celebration.
Numerous legal and legislative obstacles have stood in Mdm Maria’s way as she fights for justice.
The Semanggi murders were deemed by Indonesia’s House of Representatives and the government, both, in 2007 and 2020 to be” severe” human rights violations and therefore not subject to ad hoc legal action.
Jokowi acknowledged, however, that the murders were one of the 12 serious violations of human rights in January of last year. Without going into detail about criminal actions, he claimed that the government was working to make compensation to victims.
Because Indonesia is a legal position, we reject non-judicial commitments. Every leader takes an oath to uphold the constitution before performing their duties, according to Mdm Maria.
According to the Indonesian charter, “whoever becomes president is obliged and must be responsible for serious human rights violations in accordance with the law,” she said.
On the same day, civil rights organizations issued a statement once more urging Jokowi to convene an impromptu human rights court and find the 13 individuals listed by the National Commission on Human Rights as also missing.
Additionally, they urged the government to adopt the UN Convention for the Safety of All People from Enforced Disappearance and to quickly repair and compensate the people of the missing.
It is still too early to say that he will unquestionably win the presidency in the first round for at least two factors, despite the main experts ‘ estimates.
First of all, a ballot is just that—a small sample of respondents used to forecast the tastes of the entire population.
It is unlikely that reliable polling institutions like Indikator and LSI have gotten their techniques wrong based on their performances thus far. Instead, they have taken every precaution to obtain the most precise benefits.
However, because electors are so erratic, they might not be able to accurately represent the larger image.
A national survey is only an accurate snapshot based on a small sample of voters, in contrast to what crime theorists may imply about the reliability of polling places in Indonesia. There is a margin of error because of this.
Consider Indikator’s forecast of the Prosperous Justice Party ( PKS) support in the upcoming legislative election. Indikator predicted that the PKS may get 6 % of the voting nationwide a few weeks before the poll. In the end, the group received 8.21 %.
Indikator’s prediction was accurate to within the margin of error of 2.9 %, indicating that the model functioned as intended.
PKS is in favor of Anies in this year’s vote. Anies ‘ share of the votes may actually be higher than what the polls show because PKS voters are concentrated in a number of places. As a result, Prabowo’s full vote may differ enough to stop him from winning the election handily.
Furthermore, even at this point, a sizable portion of voters ( about 5.78 percent nationally and 12.1 percent in East Java ) still have unresolved preferences.
