Abstract

This research explores the critical role of Social Media Intelligence (SMI) within the operational framework of the Subdirectorate of Counter-Narrative, Densus 88 AT Polri, in countering radicalism and terrorism in Indonesia. Utilizing qualitative exploratory methods, including in-depth interviews and document analysis, the study investigates the effectiveness of SMI in identifying, analyzing, and disrupting radical narratives on social media. Drawing on frameworks such as Crime Prevention Theory, Surveillance Theory, and Counterintelligence Theory, the research highlights how SMI facilitates early threat detection, network analysis, and the identification of harmful content, contributing to national security. The findings underscore the adaptability of SMI amidst evolving digital challenges, such as algorithm changes and data privacy concerns, while emphasizing opportunities for integrating AI and machine learning to enhance analytical precision. This study not only provides actionable insights for law enforcement agencies but also advances the academic discourse on leveraging technology for counter-terrorism in the digital era.

Abstract

Terrorism in the digital era has rapidly evolved, with terrorist groups increasingly utilizing social media platforms to spread radical ideologies, recruit new members, and plan attacks. Indonesia, having experienced various terrorism incidents, continues to face this ongoing threat. In this context, the Special Detachment 88 Anti-Terrorism Unit (Densus 88) leverages social media as a critical tool for intelligence gathering and preventing terrorist activities. This study aims to explore how Densus 88 utilizes platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube to identify, monitor, and analyze terrorism-related activities. Through a qualitative approach, this research investigates the perspectives and experiences of Densus 88 members involved in using social media as an intelligence tool. The findings indicate that social media provides a continuous data stream that can be used to monitor activities, track trends, and identify potential threats at an early stage. However, significant challenges remain, including the vast volume and complexity of data and difficulties in distinguishing genuinely dangerous activities from unrelated content. This study provides valuable insights into the strategic use of social media in counter-terrorism operations and suggests measures to enhance the effectiveness of intelligence gathering in the digital era.
