JAKARTA Warganet was again surprised by the existence of a Facebook group called the Bloody Fantasi and Suka Duka which allegedly contained content with the theme of an recess relationship.
In recent rights, these two Facebook groups have become public talks. The public urged the government to immediately follow the group Facebook Fantsasi Serudah and Suka Duka. This is because the group is suspected of containing immoral content, pornography, and child exploitation.
This group was eventually removed by Meta for violating their policies. Meanwhile, the police have named six suspects in the case who are admins and members of the group.
They were arrested by a joint team in West Java, Central Java, Lampung, and Bengkulu.

"The six suspects are threatened with 15 years in prison and a maximum fine of Rp. 6 billion," said the Director of Cyber Crime at the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency, Brigadier General Himawan Bayu Aji, at a press conference, Wednesday (21/5/2025).
Ingrained Fantations are not the only group on social media with deviant content. This group makes people restless because its contents are about child sexual exploitation and blood relations or what is known as recess.
The disclosure of social media groups with deviant content occurs when the Ministry of Komdigi is currently focusing on monitoring online gambling accounts and digital banking crimes.
In fact, like judol accounts, social media groups with deviant content also not only violate the law, but endanger the morale of the community.
Cultural and digital communication observer from the University of Indonesia Firman Kurniawan said that the emergence of the inses group on social media, which has 32 thousand members, shows the strong role of algorithms that are able to homogeneously group user views and interests.
"Social media provides facilities for people who deviate to express their views and behavior, social media can accommodate them all," said Firman.
"So that when the real world cannot be channeled, through social media without a real name it seems as if it is free to express its deviant behavior," he added.
Some social media platforms, including Facebook, do have strict rules regarding the broadcast of sensitive content, such as suicide or self-harm, pornography, or mention of prohibited items. However, users can still access and discuss these prohibited matters because they are supported by the size of the algorithm so that it is more accessible.
Even though there is communication guidance on Facebook, because users in the group are quite active, the group will be moderately recommended and facilitated by algorithms to various users who have searched for sexuality content so that they can enter ads," Firman explained.
Since its appearance in 2004, Facebook's existence as an online social network has reaped pros and cons. Mark Zuckenberg, one of the founders of Facebook, said that the reason for making this social network is to connect many people so that they can communicate more easily and efficiently.
But over time, Facebook is growing rapidly as well as showing negative impacts, such as making users socialize, forgetting time, not caring about the surrounding environment, even disturbing health.
Another weakness of social media is to become a safe place for criminals to act, without being easily known.
We Are Social in early 2025 reported that there were around 143 million social media user identities in Indonesia, with Facebook being one of the most widely used platforms. This platform is reported to have 122 million users in Indonesia in early 2025.
Reflecting on the emergence of the Bloody Fantasi group on Facebook which caused a public commotion, Firman Kurniawan emphasized that the state must step in to eradicate these deviant groups. Because if left unchecked, in the future there could be normalization of access irregularities.
When up to 32 thousand followers it will be considered normal and normalized. They can exchange experiences and tricks to ensnare the victim. This is a very barbaric, terrible act, and is against the law," he said.
Firman added that the government must encourage electronic system operators (PSE) to take responsibility for providing safe space in digital.
In addition, the public also cannot make the government the only focus to prevent the wider negative impact of social media. Because basically, as the smallest environment, community participation in seeking and reporting acts of sexual violence in the digital realm is very important.
"Contents can be spread because of the principle of triangle, namely production, distribution, and consumption. So production and consumption include the community as users and those that produce content," he explained.
"But in the middle, there is distribution, namely the platform, so the state must ask Meta for accountability so that this distribution pattern is safe," said Firman ending.
