JAKARTA: Terrorism, which is thought to have been one of the biggest threats confronting national security in 2016, will continue to threaten the country next year along with the distribution of fake news through social media, which the National Police said had the potential to create grassroots conflict.
National Police chief Gen Tito Karnavian said in his outlook on the country’s security situation in 2017 that the force would make combating terrorism and clamping down on individuals responsible for fake news and hoaxes a priority.
