Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technologies has fundamentally transformed the landscape of civil society advocacy, particularly in the defence of digital rights in Indonesia. This study examines the evolving role of SAFEnet (Southeast Asia Freedom of Expression Network), a prominent civil society organization committed to protecting digital freedoms. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research explores SAFEnet’s strategic responses, structural challenges, and advocacy outcomes through comprehensive literature analysis and thematic interpretation. The findings reveal that SAFEnet has transcended its initial function as a policy watchdog, emerging as a facilitator of digital public discourse, a provider of legal assistance, and a cross-sectoral coalition builder advancing the rights to freedom of expression, data privacy, and digital justice. Its integrated advocacy model encompasses social media mobilization, digital literacy campaigns, policy engagement, and the innovative use of technology to amplify civic participation. Despite operating within a restrictive regulatory environment characterized by censorship and the criminalization of dissent, SAFEnet has demonstrated adaptive resilience and strategic innovation in expanding the digital public sphere and promoting democratic engagement. This study contributes to the discourse on digital civil society by critically mapping a localized advocacy model and by reinforcing the theoretical relevance of network society and public sphere frameworks in the context of Indonesia’s evolving digital democracy.

Abstract

Previous studies on the relationship between the electability of presidential and legislative candidates in Indonesia followed the coattail effect theory. The decision to vote for presidential candidate contributes to the decision to vote for a party or legislative candidate. Nonetheless, this theory is not entirely appropriate in explaining the electability of celebrity legislator candidate in the 2019 Concurrent Election. The case study of elected celebrity politics Krisdayanti in the constituency of East Java V (Malang Regency, Malang City, Batu City) in the 2019 Concurrent Election shows an opposite logic. The decision to vote for Krisdayanti actually led to the decision to vote for the Candidate Pair Joko Widodo-Ma'ruf Amin (Jokowi-Ma'ruf) or it shows the working of the reverse coattail effect theory. Krisdayanti operationally performed dual role as a celebrity politician and celebrity endorser for Jokowi-Ma'ruf. Krisdayanti's electoral influence endorse constituents to vote for Jokowi-Ma'ruf. If it is not used as the main consideration, the voters admit that Krisdayanti's endorsement is able to strengthen their decision to vote for Jokowi-Ma'ruf. In other words, the operation of the reverse coattail effect theory shows the Krisdayanti effect encourage and strengthen the decision to vote for Jokowi-Mar'ruf.Keywords: the 2019 concurrent elections, krisdayanti, celebrity politics, reverse coattail effect.

Abstract

The appearance of Dr. Tirta's participation in tackling the Covid-19 pandemic went viral on social media. This study positions Dr. Tirta as an everyday maker in governance. The aim of this research is to fill the research gap in everyday maker studies, namely exploring everyday makers in a digital context. This research uses an online-based case study method that collects data from online sources. The data analysis technique consists of three stages, namely observation, combining and grouping. This study succeeded in looking at the everyday maker in the digital world, namely the form of work in the digital world and the transformation of the everyday maker concept in the digital space as follows; First, do it yourself reinforcement. Everyday makers no longer need a large number of members to create a movement because they are assisted by the digital context of the virtual world. Second, local coverage from conventional everyday makers who face local problems can now reach things that everyday makers could not reach before. Further discussion is needed regarding the effectiveness of social media for everyday makers, in other words, regardless of the influencer's identity, they do not have social capital.
