Grace Natalie Believes Her Uploaded Content Does Not Violate the Law

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Grace Natalie, Secretary of the Board of Patrons of the Central Executive Board (DPP) of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI), has spoken out regarding the controversy over her social media video upload that touched on the 10th and 12th Vice President Jusuf Kalla (JK). Grace emphasised that the content is her personal stance as a citizen and does not represent the party’s position at all. Grace is confident that there is no element of legal violation in the video. She explained that her response to JK’s statement was as a member of the public addressing a viral issue. Grace is open to being held legally accountable for the content if necessary. She also asked the public to watch the original video on her social media account directly to avoid being influenced by videos that have been edited or given false captions by others. “I’ve seen a lot on social media that have been given captions that I didn’t create, and also titles attached to my video that I didn’t make,” she said. Ade Armando, Permadi Arya, and politician Grace Natalie have been reported to the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim Polri) regarding a video of Jusuf Kalla’s (JK) lecture. The report was filed because the three are suspected of creating content that steers negative opinions about JK. The reported individuals are said to have edited the content of JK’s lecture at Gadjah Mada University (UGM).
