Recently, social media has been abuzz with SMS blasts from the Ministry of Communication and Information (Kominfo). This SMS message contains an invitation to stay away from online gambling which is widespread in society.
Reported by brilio.net from the official kominfo.go.id page, Wednesday (3/7), Minister of Communication and Information Budi Arie Setiadi said that this socialization in the form of SMS Blast is one step in preventing people from playing online gambling.
"We are campaigning for socialization via SMS Blast and various mechanisms. I will meet with RRI tomorrow morning, for one hour of socialization about the dangers of online gambling for society," said Budi.
However, instead of getting appreciation, netizens are actually discussing socialization using this rhyme. One of them said that this socialization method tends to be cringy and will not deter a gambler.
"The online gambler's mother is already crying, his wife is threatening divorce, his son is crying and can't get snacks like his friends. This is thought to be a deterrent using rhymes. This is the peak of Kominfo's incompetence. The regime's propaganda funnel," wrote X account user @malikarrahiem.
"80 thousand children have been caught in online gambling. 440 thousand teenagers. The total number of players is over 2 million. The turnover is hundreds of trillions. Meanwhile, the solution from the Ministry of Communication and Information is just to make bad rhymes. Good luck!," wrote the account @juvegaristabah.
"It's useless to waste the budget," wrote the account @udarangga.
"Gosh.. The water is flowing so clear, it flows like on glass, Kominfo can't block it, can its employees only zuma? Noh rhyme...," said the account @joni_irawan67.
