stop Hoax!! at the moment, in my country it is popular with hoax cases. one of the hoax propagation groups has been secured by the authorities. why do we need to do a hoax? is it fun if we lie? especially if the lie we make is harmful to others. is it really hard to tell the truth? I think to influence the interests of others, no need to lie. all we need is a convincing action. had happened in a country, due to a hoax, the country's ruler killed thousands of people. is not it horrible? in my country, as a result of hoaxes, a leader who is very honest and always defends the interests of his people must go to jail. Well, can we stop spreading the hoax? yes of course. Hoax can kill, be careful in sorting out an information. Require to first trace the truth level of the information. Especially in today's technological era, the internet network has been increasingly widespread, and the ease-of-use to social media. we must be more careful and thorough in receiving an information

Could you explain how something being a hoax is making someone go to jail? If it is indeed a hoax, then there wouldn't be enough evidence to put them in jail from the way I see it.

in my country, they use religious issues to influence others. this happened to Basuki Tjahaya Purnama, Governor of DKI Jakarta

@fickypangkey in my country is still very easily affected by hoax news, they do not filter out information through deep thinking but only use the same feeling or understanding based on group similarity. indeed we still really need to learn critical of an information received

It is really a nuisance to get fake news on the Internet.

many types and objectives of existing hoaxes. but the main and often emerging are the hoaxes to bring down the credibility of a person or a minority. it so sad, but I do not blame those who are affected by the hoaxes, I just regret that many people are misusing technological sophistication only to confuse peace for the benefit of the individual or group
