Abstract

Hoaxes are among the major digital challenges with the potential to erode national values. The significant impact of hoax content has drawn the attention of many parties to further explore this issue. One of the most discussed topics in recent times is the Palestine–Israel conflict. Studies on hoax content related to the conflict on Indonesian social media remain limited. This study aims to examine which platforms are most frequently used in disseminating hoax content, identify the dominant themes, and analyze how hoax content constructs false realities based on McCornack’s (1992) Information Manipulation Theory (IMT). Content analysis and semiotic analysis were employed as the research methods. Data were obtained from hoax news reports published on the official government website (www.komdigi.go.id). The findings reveal that Facebook is the platform with the highest prevalence of hoax content, followed by TikTok, Instagram, X, WhatsApp, and YouTube. The military theme dominated, followed by humanitarian, political, religious, and other themes. The construction of hoax content aligns with IMT, demonstrating violations of quality, quantity, manner, and relevance. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how digital hoaxes operate in conflict-related contexts and provide insights for digital media practitioners in designing effective hoax mitigation strategies.

Abstract

Criticism on social media toward traditional pondok pesantren has the potential to influence public opinion, particularly when voiced by influencers with large followers. This study aims to analyze the narrative construction presented in contents of two influencers, Guru Gembul and Herri Pras, who criticize traditional pondok pesantren. Research employs qualitative approach using narrative analysis of YouTube video contents produced by both influencers throughout 2025. Analysis focuses on narrative structure, narrative functions and characters, narrator positioning, and interpretation based on Stanley Cohen’s Moral Panic Theory. Findings reveal that the narratives constructed by both influencers follow a pattern of equilibrium, disruption, awareness of disruption, and attempts at restoration. Traditional pondok pesantren are represented as sources of disruption to what are considered ideal Islamic values through issues such as feudalism, anticriticism culture, moral deviation, and decline of Islamic education. Within this narrative structure, pesantren figures are positioned as folk devils or moral threats, while influencers position themselves as parties who awaken public awareness. Furthermore, as dramatic narrators, influencers construct narratives that tend to be subjective, emotional, and prone to negative generalizations about traditional pesantren. This study demonstrates that social media has significant potential to shape public opinion regarding religious institutions, while also creating stigma, polarization, and moral panic when information is not conveyed in a balanced and critical manner.
