  "account": "A video posted on social media in August 2026 claims to show four bulldozers sent to counter protesters outside the Indonesian House of Representatives building. However, fact-checkers have determined the footage is inaccurate. Reverse image searches and geolocation confirm the video was filmed in Jambi in 2025, not Jakarta. The vehicles in the video are not bulldozers but trucks carrying heavy equipment. The footage was initially posted by TikTok user Cctv Simpang Jambi Muara Bungo on October 29, 2025. A fact-check of the protest on August 27, 2026, confirms the materials were not bulldozers.",
