“…True enough, social media platforms became vital tools to the political process and thinking of the younger generation. For instance in Indonesia, Johansson (2016) and Molaei (2014Molaei ( , 2015 note that these NICT tools complemented and at certain times substituted for traditional media links, while Susanti (2015) said that Twitter became a primary tool to react immediately on a certain issue or interact with politicians who have online accounts.

The past decade saw a changing political landscape in Southeast Asia. From a promising turn towards democracy, marked by episodes of backsliding and authoritarian tendencies, and recently threats of democratic regression and political decay in most parts of the region, have dominated current discourse. Central to these changes is the evolution of information and communications technology, and the ubiquity of social media platforms as sources of news and information, as well as shaping public opinion. The paper looks into three cases in Southeast Asia: online hate along ethnic lines in Myanmar; Duterte populism and broad forms of disinformation in the Philippines; and increasing fake news and online radical Islamism in Indonesia. Trends, common areas of concern, and possible patterns would be gleaned from the case studies; and from there, distil prospects for engagement and better approaches against the growing concern for disinformation in the region. The research recommends that a more concerted and inclusive regional approach would help turn the tide against an increasingly deceived public.
