Hola Steemians
Hello gaes, meet again with ane Bujang Lalang. Lately a lot of preaching of acts of terror that occurred in surabaya that oversaw a dozen casualties. And even more astonishingly, their communication patterns not only adhere to a chat application or social media in general. They have penetrated into the gaming world to communicate and coordinate to launch attacks.
According to the official website of one of the United States cyber security agencies, New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell (NJCCIC) called that terrorist communications media in 2018 using a new way of using online games, encryption, dark websites, and cryptocurrency for recruitment and propaganda this is hard to trace.
Not only that NJCCIC also affirmed not only communicate, they also use these media to encourage attacks, facilitate their operations such as funding, and obtain weapons to carry out physical attacks against the target.
We know alone, if in Indonesia the development of games very rapidly, even its current position is not as a hobby but a profession. Proven in the 2018 Asian Games to be held in Jakarta and next Palembang entered a new branch that is ESport, an electronic sports. The matching games are Arena Of Valor, League of Legends, Pro Evolution Soccer, Clash Royale, Hearthstone and Starcraft.
A game there is a chat in game feature to make it easier for players to communicate and coordinate in playing the game. Some games also feature voice chat as applied to moba game genre, as this genre requires players to coordinate among other players to make the game easier to manage attack strategies.
The existence of this feature can be utilized by anyone for illicit purposes, such as drug transactions, human trafficking and other crimes including terrorism, because of the difficulty of tracking a case that is said by NJCCIC.
So What is the role of the government in handling cases such as this? The government must be observant in taking a policy that could harm other side. A case of blocking telegram applications yesterday that was blocked by the Indonesian government.** Actually, what should be eradicated is the person, not the game **. In the past we have also heard the news a number of games in banned in Indonesia. The existence of a report of this case, do not let the phenomenon like this game that is growing in Indonesia who screwed black. A case of the moba genre with a cycle of money turns to hundreds of millions of USD. Moreover, Indonesia will soon host the Asian Games 2018.
I am here as a hobby of playing games representing all gamers to advise the government in its firmness in combating terrorism because they are getting smarter in communicating. Ane also expects the government to be wiser in making decisions because it is feared of blocking a number of online games will hurt many parties, not only the creators of youtube gaming Indonesia, but also other digital industries.
Not only that, we as gamers at the time of play is always wary of anyone who opponents or friends when entering the game. Terrorists usually use certain codes to communicate with each other. But terrorists remain terrorists they are not true gamers. You can bother any account that is in the game unlike most gamers do. The term in the world of moba game is a toxic player, who play carelessly. With a report to the admin then the possibility of the terrorists will be banned so that they will be a little space to communicate.
Thanks.
