JAKARTA - The management team of singer Rossa has officially taken firm steps against netizens who spread slander on social media. The legal team revealed that they had sent an open summons to dozens of TikTok, Instagram, and Threads accounts.
"Today we are holding a press conference regarding the summons we have taken against a number of social media users who have knowingly and unintentionally spread slander, discredit, and lowered the dignity and dignity of T.O.C.A (Teh Ocha)," said M. Ikhsan Tualeka as spokesman for Rossa's management in South Jakarta, Monday, April 13.
Natalia Rusli, Rossa's management lawyer, confirmed that her party would not remain silent against content that was manipulated to tarnish the reputation of the diva. He said there were dozens of accounts that had been identified and given a stern warning.
"We have subpoenaed dozens of TikTok, Instagram, and Threads accounts. I believe they cannot be held accountable for the truth. We give 1 x 24 hours to take down news related to Mbak Rossa's self-esteem and reputation," said Natalia Rusli.
In the somasi, Rossa's legal team included a heavy article to deter irresponsible netizens. The threat of punishment is not a joke, reaching billions of rupiah and years in prison.
"We include Article 32 paragraph 1 in conjunction with Article 48 of the ITE Law on content manipulation. The maximum prison sentence is 8 years and the maximum fine is 2 billion rupiah. This is not just a threat because we have collected the evidence," added Natalia.
Ikhsan Tualeka emphasized that this step was taken not only for personal reasons for Rossa, but as a form of digital literacy education for the wider community. He hopes that the Indonesian digital world will no longer be polluted by content that damages the reputation.
"For those who have deliberately defamed Rossa, they can immediately take it down, and for those who will do it will certainly be careful. We want netizens to learn that freedom should not violate the freedom of others," said Ikhsan.
Although some accounts have started to delete negative content, Rossa's management demands more than just the deletion of uploads. They require account owners to make a public apology on their respective social media.
"There are already 38 accounts that have been taken down, but we have saved them all. Those who have been taken down must also post an apology on their respective social media. If not, we will report to the National Police Headquarters," said Ikhsan closing his statement.
This legal step is a stern warning for the "naughty thumbs" on social media. Rossa management ensures that it will continue to monitor the development of this situation for the next 24 hours before actually bringing the case to the table of investigators.
