At least 97 teenagers, the youngest being 11, are being monitored for potentially inciting violent acts in Southeast Asia due to the influence of content glorifying mass violence and white supremacists on messaging app Telegram. The content has also spread across other platforms, often with a localized twist. This is not just Indonesia but also across the region, where police are dealing with a surge in teenagers plotting violence inspired by white supremacists like Brenton Tarrant. Many of these young people are said to have been radicalized through social media posts and communities. Some were planning attacks to protect the racial and religious composition of their countries, while others were inspired by the violence of far-right attackers. The messaging app, Telegram, often doesn't act on content reported as extremist.
