CfDS and Unesco Collaboration Project: Social Media 4 Peace

The Center for Digital Society (CfDS) with UNESCO and funded by the European Union conducted a research collaboration under the Social Media 4 Peace program to analyze existing gaps and regulations regarding harmful content as well as the reporting mechanisms. Throughout the project, we have successfully organized various activities pertaining to the implementation of the research such as workshops, FGD, consultation with the affected communities, and platform collaboration with antikontennegatif.id, multi-stakeholder coalition conference, and the roundtable discussion on Harmful Content in Social Media. Various activities in this program also collaborated with the government, social media platforms, and NGOs to form a strong multi-stakeholder coalition.

Platform Collaboration (antikontennegatif.id)

As an effort to prevent harmful content on social media, this project launched the antikontennegatif.id. This platform aims to harness collaboration between social media platforms, government, and also communities-led organizations.

Supported by UNESCO and the European Union, the Anti Harmful Content project aims to create a better understanding of the dynamics and the impacts of harmful content spreading in Indonesia. We hope that the information provided on this website can help users to report and avoid potentially harmful content and promote more peacebuilding narratives and initiatives in Indonesia.
