About
The Background
Instant Warnet comes from the Indonesian context, where 'warnet' is the colloquial term for the many internet kiosks and gaming centers which are frequented by the nation's youth. With Indonesian netizens being some of the most active social media users in the world, its influence on our society is immense. This project is part of an ongoing research into the silencing strategies used on these platforms, in Indonesia and elsewhere. Visit the Resource Room to learn more.
