TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Jakarta Metropolitan Police have arrested a 45-year-old woman identified as DM, a resident of Ciamis Regency, West Java, on suspicion of spreading false information and hoaxes via social media. DM allegedly uploaded content containing baseless claims regarding calls for demonstrations ahead of the Indonesian Independence Day on August 17, 2026. Jakarta Metro Police Cyber Investigation Director, Senior Commissioner Bagoes Wibisono, stated that the case was uncovered during routine cyber patrol. "Following further investigation, we determined that the information lacked factual basis and carried the potential to incite public unrest," he noted. The Jakarta Metro Police Cyber Investigation Directorate subsequently coordinated with the Ciamis Police to arrest DM at her home.
