SUMMARY:(P28) From digital divide to techno-elitists’ social movement: Updates on digital activism in Southeast Asia
LOCATION:K10 | 2.40
DESCRIPTION:The advancement of techno-driven social changes in Southeast As
 ia is currently being challenged by various factors, varies from digital di
 vide to the government’s censorship over the digital sphere. Yet, people ar
 e further employing social media platforms creatively to exercise their soc
 io-political agendas. This panel covers three different cases of contempora
 ry digital activism in Southeast Asia. First paper discusses how the indige
 nous peoples of Sarawak, Malaysia utilize Facebook as a medium of resistanc
 e regarding their native customary rights (NCR) land and deforestation issu
 es. Second paper examines how Indonesian Muslim middle-class and faith-base
 d charity organizations re-organize their fundraising strategies via social
  media, mainly to minimize economic hardship (caused by Covid-19 pandemic) 
 of lower income communities in the country. The third paper provides a comp
 arison of students’ protests in Indonesia and Thailand in how these digital
  natives\npowered themselves with social media playfully, not only to furth
 er amplify their political messages but also to avoid direct confrontation 
 with their government’s censorship laws. Here we argue that despite various
  barriers, Southeast Asian digital activists try to renegotiate their relat
 ionships with digital media to overcome those obstacles. Further consequenc
 es of such strategies are also discussed in each paper.
