        "content": "<p>The Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs, General\n(Ret.) Djamari Chaniago, stated that the current digital landscape holds\na strategic position in shaping public opinion, ways of thinking, and\nthe character of society. Consequently, he wants the government to\nmaster the digital space to possess the capability to manage the flow of\ninformation.<\/p>\n<p>This was stated by Djamundari during the Coordination Forum of the\nPublic Relations Coordination Body (Bakohumas) held by the Coordinating\nMinistry for Political and Security Affairs at Graha Marinir Panti\nPerwira, Central Jakarta, on Tuesday (1\/9\/2026). The forum aims to build\na shared perception and strengthen cross-sector coordination in managing\ngovernment public communications amidst the rise of disinformation,\nslander, and hate (DFK).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe digital battlefield today is very strategic. I liken it to the\nField of Kurukshetra or a very large battlefield. I also call the\ndigital space a field of criticism; whoever can master it will win the\nbattle. If we do not master it, it will be mastered by others for\nspecific purposes,\u201d said Djamari on Tuesday (1\/9\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Djamari warned that disinformation, slander, hate, negative\nnarratives, harsh language, and indecent content are widely circulating\non social media. Such conditions have the potential to have a long-term\nimpact on the mindset and character of the community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSocial media greatly influences the public\u2019s mind. What is in the\nmind will influence what we do, and what we continuously do will shape\ncharacter. We must not be careless so that the character of this nation\ndoes not change into being weak, easily defeated, and pessimistic. We\ncannot hand this nation over to pessimistic people,\u201d Djamari added.<\/p>",
