For example, when they talk about the election schedule, we invite the KPU to talk and immediately spread it out," said the police general. Suwondo ensures that the control of the dissemination of hoax information is applied to all stages of the 2024 Simultaneous Elections. Meanwhile, to maintain security ahead of the campaign period, starting Tuesday, November 28, Suwondo said his staff had intensified patrols in various corners of the region in Yogyakarta. "Our patrol is carried out not only for elections, but also to anticipate all problems in Yogyakarta. This is in order to safeguard it," said Suwondo.

The opportunity for spreading hoaxes and hate speech is still large ahead of the 2024 Simultaneous Election. "Supervision requires technology, yes. That's what we don't have, to effectively monitor social media one by one, because the number is very large. That's why we collaborate with the Yogyakarta Regional Police," said Najib.
