This podcast presents a narrative from the chapter titled "Disinformasi di YouTube: Pemilihan Presiden 2019 dan 2024" in the book "Jurnalisme Cekfakta Melawan Disinformasi Pemilu 2024"—available for download at aji.or.id. The chapter explores how YouTube, particularly YouTube Shorts, has become a platform for disinformation during the Indonesian presidential elections in 2019 and 2024. By analyzing video content, user comments, and the spread of disinformation through echo chambers, the authors highlight the lack of intervention from the platform in removing misleading content.
