The government has moved to slow down the uploading and downloading of photographs on social media platforms and online messaging apps following the rioting in Central and West Jakarta on Wednesday.
"To avoid incitement and false news from spreading to the wider public, we are temporarily limiting access to certain features on social media," Coordinating Political, Legal and Security Affairs Minister Wiranto said at a press conference on Wednesday.
At around 12.15 p.m., several users shared on Twitter that they were experiencing difficulties while accessing the applications from computers or mobile phones. 
As a result, hashtags #WhatsAppdown and #Instagramdown are currently trending in Indonesia.
Communications and Information Minister Rudiantara said the blocked features included sharing videos and photos online.
"The limitations are applied to features on social media platforms and messaging systems," Rudiantara said at the same press conference. "We know that the modus operandi [of spreading false news] is by posting videos, memes and photos on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. These posts are screen-captured and go viral on messaging apps such as WhatsApp. So, we will all experience a slowdown if we try to download or upload videos and photos."
He said that the move was necessary because fake videos and photos triggered an "emotional response."
He added that taking down the false news instead of limiting access altogether would be ineffective given the tens of millions of social media and WhatsApp users in Indonesia.
He emphasized that the measures would be temporary, but did not say when the limits would be lifted.
Meanwhile, in an official press release received Wednesday afternoon,  the Communications and Information Ministry called on netizens to refrain from spreading violence-related content and hate speech via social media. 
The ministry reminded the public that sharing videos containing violence, provocative incitement and hateful messages based on ethnicity, religion, race and societal groups was forbidden by the Electronic Information and Transactions Law. 
The ministry also emphasized that it was continuously monitoring websites, web content and accounts with AIS technology supported by 100 verifiers and that it was also collaborating with the police to track down and identify accounts spreading negative and provocative content.
Netizens were encouraged to report this type of content via aduankonten.id or the @aduankonten account on Twitter. (asw)

As we know that May 22, 2019 was the date when political riot happened. So, this news takes time a lot to collect the data and information carefully which must be relevant.

2.      The story must speak about something that is interesting for the readers, viewers or listeners; it must be about something that concerns them and their everyday life.
"To avoid incitement and false news from spreading to the wider public, we are temporarily limiting access to certain features on social media," Coordinating Political, Legal and Security Affairs Minister Wiranto said at a press conference on Wednesday.
Because of the limited access, it will decrease accessibility of communication of people so that this news is very important to be reported.
3.      Investigative reporting is nothing else but exposing something that certain persons, companies or government agencies do not want the public to know. 
The government has moved to slow down the uploading and downloading of photographs on social media platforms and online messaging apps following the rioting in Central and West Jakarta on Wednesday.
Although the political riot happened, the journalists are brave to report that fact that the riot actually really happened without any hesitation.
