Home to the largest population of active social media users in Southeast Asia and third in Asia-Pacific, millions of Indonesian diaspora actively stay connected with what goes on back home through social media.
Dr. Monika Winarnita, Indonesian studies lecturer from the University of Melbourne, joins Billy Adison Aditijanto on The Perantau Podcast to talk about how social media strengthens the international Indonesian consciousness, how migrants have different social media profiles for different needs, and how we usually enjoy greater freedom of speech when abroad.
