Lately, cases of theft and misuse of personal data on social media have frequently occurred. One example is social media accounts being hijacked and used by others for fraud.
According to a survey by the Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kemenkominfo) and the Katadata Insight Center (KIC), the majority, or 83.4%, of the public would immediately report to the relevant social media platform if they found their personal data misused.
Furthermore, 38.5% of respondents would file a lawsuit with the authorities if they experienced a similar case, 27.2% would seek compensation from the social media company for the leakage of their personal data, and 0.2% would block account activity or close their social media account.
This survey also shows that 5.1% of respondents chose not to report or do anything when they learned their personal data had been misused on social media.
"This is because many respondents don't know where to report, or have reported but nothing happened," according to the Kemenkominfo and KIC report.
This survey was conducted from July 14-21, 2021, involving 11,305 respondents spread across 34 Indonesian provinces. The complete survey report can be downloaded at this link.
