Countering online radicalisation in Indonesia – policy needs to keep pace with changes
Abstract
Recent incidents involving an Indonesian youth in Jordan exposed to ISIS content, and the bomb attack on Jakarta’s State Senior High School 72, reveal that youth radicalisation in Indonesia is increasingly occurring through mainstream digital platforms rather than closed online spaces. There is a need for policy to keep pace with these evolving circumstances.
