Online News, Most Accessed via Facebook

A survey conducted by DailySocial.id reveals that Indonesians most frequently access online news through Facebook. Over 70 percent of respondents stated that they access online news via Facebook posts on their timelines. Furthermore, 50.64 percent access news through LINE Today; this platform's popularity stems from its direct integration with the LINE messaging app. Interestingly, only 46.8 percent read news directly from news websites.

The proliferation of online media hasn't necessarily led to an increase in news quality. The rampant spread of fake news or hoaxes is a major current problem. Facebook, as one of the most popular platforms for news dissemination, plans to implement an algorithm to filter low-quality links to avoid disrupting users. This is also hoped to reduce the spread of fake news online.
