Have some thoughts lately…
Indonesian nerds or activist who cares about privacy should have started to follow to make our own version of EFF (Electronic Frontiers Foundation), The Citizen Lab, Cult of Dead Cow, etc… who focused on advocating, brainstorms, doing campaigns, promoting, educating the goverment regarding digital rights.
We have seen what Komdigi trying to do so far, it just the starting point, and it will get worse day by day, unless WE educate our goverment the right way to do digital rights.
Why?
If you think again, the goverment has the right for concern regarding negativity on what they do. BUT, what they did is oriented with nations that do not like about digital rights, you know which countries, I am talking about.
Our nation is on their way doing digital sovereignity, WHICH IS I REALLY 100% SUPPORT, because west nations are starting being an assholes lately.
What I have seen so far is that activist, nerds, etc who are aware… is just being reactive, not preventive. We have seen that Komdigi following what England do for digital verification.
They will start to follow what other nation did to “protect” nation interest.
C word nation with their digital firewall, they might follow it (cough TKPPSE)
Turning off internet like “I” word? Already happened in Papua before.
But, we can prevent it (hypothetically) by educating and give our own solution with the goverment.
OR WE make our own protection ourselves.
Screaming on social is okay, but it is still not enough, we need to scream and also make the solution. Prepare before the worst!
Sorry about my incoherent rambling, but I think this is important before I forget, and we need to start as fast as possible before our goverment sinking too late to safe. And we all be fucked because of it.

rada kejauhan gan, jangankan dimarih. di Asia itu msh jauh tertinggal soal privasi digital. aplikasi olshop dan pinjol aja dgn bebas panen data² personal. harus dibuat awareness-nya dulu. minimal nyemplung woro² di sosmed mainstream buat campaign privasi.
Yes, it may seem like that. But, truthfully people screaming about data breach, Komdigi doing shit etc. Meaning at least our citizen has a base understanding about data privacy.
We also have SAFEnet.
But, if we just keep waiting, Komdigi or goverment or privacy hater will keep winning, and we ain’t gonna able to do any usable shit
komdigi ya memang bukan siapa², cuma kepanjangan tangan pemerintah. bemper kebijakan tepatnya. klo pemerintah bikin kebijakan aneh², yg kena duluan ya komdigi dan menterinya, bukan yg nyuruh bikin aturan aneh²-nya .
SAFEnet sejauh ini udah campaign awareness di mana saja ya? Yutub? IG atau twuiter?
@throws_lemy Kebanyakan di X sih mereka mainnya, di Fediverse juga ada kalau disearch.
waduh saia cek aktivitas ngepost di twuiter udah setaun lalu… 👀
kurang gencar ini sih, minimal bikin podcast atau tutorial yt terkait privasi. tinggal di woro² ke sosmed yg lain.

Maybe I already started this concern with yall in your latest podcast on X lately. Maybe yall call me being too paranoid.
But seeing again what happened lately… I think my concerns are valid, and we need to prepare before the worst happens.
Our nation see and copy other nations policy, if they “like” it. They will follow it blindly.
I am no expert or having the power yet to do preventions, but at least I can say what I have concerned…

Doing compromise is possible, like what Wikipedia did to prevent themselves from getting blocked… while also preventing goverment to disturb Wikipedia ecosystem.
