This article explains the issue that the urban Minangkabau ethnic group discussed in the political conversation in the coffee shop after Jokowi is defeat. Although defeated in West Sumatra, but Jokowi-Ma'ruf Amin won at the national level. In the 2014 elections, Jokowi received 23.18 percent in West Sumatra. While in the 2019 elections, the vote fell to 14.1 percent. Many strategic development programs have been carried out by the Jokowi Government for the people of West Sumatra. However, his vote acquisition in the elections contrasted with his efforts to get ethnic Minangkabau support. This article is the result of field research. Quantitative data was collected through a survey of 100 respondents and followed by a semi-structured interview of 30 of those surveyed. This interview aims to get more in-depth information related to the political discussion they are doing. The results of this study found that political discussion is the basis for the urban Minangkabau community to obtain information before making political decisions as well as being the basis for comparing political choices made with their discussion partners.

Use of information networks by extremist groups to advance their totalitarian objectives is becoming a serious concern for global peace. The use of information networks is just one dimension; the other dimension and potentially more concerning is the production of sophisticated information content to influence public perception. One such group-the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS)-utilizing the affordances of information networks coupled with the sophisticated information content has been able to recruit a large number of foreign fighters from Western countries and hence is posing a threat to the national security of various nations. This research study analyses the content produced by the ISIS with an objective to identify (1) informational properties of and (2) information strategies used in their content. Initial findings suggest that ISIS's content is rich in information with affective, theological, political, and historical connotations. Furthermore, their content is designed with an objective to give highly positively and/or negatively skewed information.
