ANTARA/Kominfo.go.id Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Communication and Informatics Ministry stressed on the need to apply digital technology in public information openness, which is one of the requisites for the institution’s success. "Digital technology makes it easier for us all to conduct activities and create work, especially in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the unwise use of digital technology will cause various problems, such as hoaxes and disinformation.
