  "account": "Indonesian Deputy Speaker Ahmad Sahroni has called on the National Police (Polri) and the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi) to collaborate with social media platforms TikTok and Meta to curb livestreams that incite street brawls. Sahroni argued that such videos spread violent content and urged Polri and Komdigi to immediately block any suspect accounts and trace their creators. He emphasized that the police and Komdigi should not provide any space or platform for accounts displaying violence, as such content negatively impacts young people. Sahroni also pointed out that while the police have been actively working on the ground to curb brawls, their efforts are ineffective if the violent content continues to inspire new perpetrators in other areas through social media. Recently, police detained 17 teenagers suspected of planning a brawl on the Jakarta-Bogor Highway in Sukaraja, Bogor Regency, after they had livestreamed the planned event on Instagram.",
