Core Subject : Science, Education,
INFORMASI is an academic journal that centered in communication, is open and welcoming to contributions from the many disciplines and approaches that meet at the crossroads that is communication study. We are interested in scholarship that crosses disciplinary lines and speaks to readers from a range of theoretical and methodological perspectives. In other words, INFORMASI will be a forum for scholars when they address the wider audiences of our many sub-fields and specialties, rather than the location for the narrower conversations more appropriately conducted within more specialized journals. INFORMASI published twice a year (June and December) in Bahasa Indonesia or English.

Abstract

This paper examines how social media platforms X (Twitter) and Facebook algorithmically amplify financial disinformation and fraud, comparing two distinct archetypes: the relational deception of “Yahoo Boys” and the techno-utopian rhetoric of “Crypto Bros.” Using a mixed-methods approach—including algorithmic auditing, network analysis, and victim interviews—the research demonstrates that fraudulent content is amplified 67 times faster than legitimate content due to platform design that prioritizes high-arousal engagement. It reveals critical structural vulnerabilities in content moderation, including severe scale limitations and systemic biases that disproportionately fail non-English and African-language communities. The findings show that micro-targeting tools originally designed for advertisers are weaponized to prey on vulnerable users. The study concludes that platforms are active architects of digital financial risk, necessitating fundamental reforms in algorithmic design and moderation practices.

Abstract

With a focus on the experiences of rural and wetland women in Jamalpur, this study examines the vulnerabilities that women confront in the context of climate change. Based on a theoretical framework that includes concepts of innovation, crisis communication theory, social network theory and capability approach. The study uses in-depth interviews with 13 village and wetland women, and separate focused group discussions among them, and seven key informant interviews. Results show that women demonstrate resilience in the face of a lack of understanding about climate change and the dangers it poses by applying their local knowledge and experiences to adapt to difficult situations. Wetland women's communication patterns are notably different from village women's, suggesting differences in social practices. It would seem that village women are in a more privileged position and could have better access to resources and information. This study highlights the value of support networks and communication tools while illuminating women's ability to adjust to climate-related issues. The results highlight the necessity of customized interventions that identify and tackle the distinct vulnerabilities faced by women in various social and geographic contexts, ultimately leading to more efficacious measures for adapting to climate change.
