SUMMARY:Political influence operations through social media in SEA (1)
LOCATION:REC A2.06
DESCRIPTION:Over the past decade, there has been a significant surge in onl
 ine influence operations aimed at manipulating public opinion, posing a sub
 stantial and growing threat to democracy. This threat is particularly prono
 unced in Southeast Asia, where high social media penetration and low newspa
 per readership create ideal conditions for the flourishing of “buzzer
 s” in Indonesia, “trolls” in the Philippines, or “i
 nformation operations” in Thailand. In this panel, we delve into the 
 diversity of influence operations across SEA, with a specific focus on the 
 personal trajectories of those involved, their day-to-day practices, the st
 rategies and tactics employed, and the organization and funding of their ne
 tworks. We explore the causes and consequences of the variation in online i
 nfluence operations, discussing, among other aspects, the extent of private
  sector involvement, whether it is a unipolar (state-led) or multipolar (in
 volving various candidates/parties) phenomenon, and the degree of instituti
 onalization within the operating networks.
