Abstract

Using buzzers in product marketing is common and part of a marketing communication strategy. However, the use of buzzers has shifted to the political realm, causing negative impacts such as manipulating public opinion by spreading false information and propaganda. A number of countries have utilized buzzers for propaganda and public opinion manipulation purposes, such as Russia, the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia. This study aims to formulate an early detection model to prevent the damaging impacts of using political buzzers attacks on social media by referring to the AISAS (Attention, Interest, Search, Action, and Share) model. This study uses a qualitative approach with data characteristics in the form of words, images, or sentences and includes many quotes and examples. The study results show that political buzzers on social media can be controlled strategically. The core of this strategy is to disrupt the buzzers' work process and strengthen the community's digital literacy because the digital literacy program that has been conducted has proven to be ineffective. Through the early detection model in this study, this can be done by disrupting the work process of buzzers and strengthening digital society through digital literacy by referring to the AISAS model. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen regulations by tightening account registration rules and clarifying law enforcement for the use of buzzers attacks.

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of the Noken System in the 2024 Lanny Jaya Regency Head and Deputy Regency Head Elections and its impact on the political participation of indigenous Papuans. The Noken System, as a collective voting practice based on local wisdom, has gained constitutional legitimacy through Constitutional Court Decision Number 47-81/PHPU.A-VII/2009. However, its implementation creates a paradox between the principle of electoral democracy, which emphasizes individual voting rights, and the tradition of communal deliberation among indigenous peoples. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, collecting data through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. The results show that the Noken System in Lanny Jaya Regency has undergone a transformation from a traditional deliberation mechanism to a political mobilization tool that is vulnerable to politicization and elite intervention. The role of the Big Man as the determinant of collective choice has shifted from traditional legitimacy to a transactional patronage-client relationship. This study found three patterns of political participation, such as authentic communal participation based on customary consensus, participation guided by elites, and transactional participation involving material exchanges. This study contributes to the theory of legal pluralism and deliberative democracy by revealing the complexity of negotiations between state law and customary law in the context of Indonesian electoral democracy.
