Kominfo Dan Siberkreasi Tanggapi Phenomen Ngemis Online Lewat OOTD

JAKARTA - There are also ways netizens make money via shortcuts. We often encounter online begging content on social media lately.

If you look at it, there is a positive value of this phenomenon. For those who really need a helping hand, this phenomenon is certainly very useful. But with so many internet users donating online, making the gap for fraud for irresponsible people.

In order to anticipate the bad things of the online begging phenomenon, the Ministry of Communication and Information through the National Digital Literacy Movement (GNLD) Siberkreasi held an online Digital Literacy Obrol-OOTD discussion with the theme "Ngemis Online Phemenon" online on Thursday 23 February.

Internet is likened to the function of a knife. In the right hands, a knife can be useful for good things. But if used incorrectly, the knife could hurt someone.

"The key is in the user, how users are able to take advantage of the tools they have to be able to share goodness," said Faris Mufid, Tiktok's Public Policy.

Mira Sahid, Deputy Chairperson of Siberkreasi, said that this online beggar phenomenon is an example of the creativity of internet users without being accompanied by good digital literacy.

"It's a shame if creativity creates an impression of loss of empathy in the digital world. As long as the intention of the content is begging, it can harm others," explained Mira.

Responding to this phenomenon of online begging, Content Creator, Bimo Ghifari said this phenomenon should be a reflection for content creators to be able to increase self-confidence in creativity.

"If people who water themselves using mud can create content, why can't we who have skills show our potential on social media," he concluded.

Through this discussion, it is hoped that the Indonesian people can be wiser in their activities in the digital world.
