A survey on online media in Indonesia conducted by DailySocial.id shows that almost 70 percent of online news readers forward and share the news on their various social media platforms. Only 30.83 percent admitted to not sharing the news on social media. Facebook remains the most popular social media platform for sharing news. Almost 45 percent of users of Mark Zuckerberg's application forward the online news they read. Furthermore, 28 percent also share the news they read via WhatsApp to the groups they participate in.

The large number of readers who immediately spread news and information on their social media has, however, resulted in negative impacts. One of these is the rapid spread of fake news among the public. To address this, the Ministry of Communication and Information (Kemenkominfo) has coordinated with the police as law enforcement and with social media service providers such as Facebook. This is expected to reduce the spread of fake news, which harms many parties.
