JAKARTA - The Papuan provincial government has responded to reports in WhatsApp groups regarding Governor Lukas Enembe being deported from Singapore. Spokesperson for the Governor of Papua, Muhammad Rifai Darus, confirmed that this was the spread of fake news through imposter content and fabricated content techniques. "We need to inform you that the fake news circulating about the 'Governor of Papua being deported by Singapore' is completely untrue," Rifai said as quoted by Antara, Friday, May 20. According to Rifai, the spread of fake news uses screen captures, not in the form of link (link) on the website. The two images that were distributed massively, he said, were edits aimed at tricking readers through the inclusion of logos and content from one of the major national media outlets and also imitating the Singapore Ministry of Home Affairs website page. He thinks that the actions of the perpetrators of making and spreading fake news seem too arrogant "The act of bringing the 'Ministry of Home Affairs of Singapore' in a vortex of fake news content will certainly embarrass the nation in the eyes of ASEAN regional associations," he said. "The governor appealed to law enforcement officials to be able to move quickly in finding this subversive group because it has seriously damaged the good name of the State of Indonesia, Papua Province. and the Governor of Papua as well as demeaning a person's dignity and lying to the minds of many people," he said.
