When violence goes viral why visual evidence matters in indonesian activism?

When violence goes viral, visual evidence helps people know what’s really happening and can make activism stronger, like a loud cheer at a game.

Imagine you're playing tag with your friends in the park. Suddenly, someone trips and falls. If you see it happen, you know exactly who did it, maybe even laugh about it later. But if someone just tells you what happened, it's harder to be sure. That’s like visual evidence, a picture or video that shows something clearly.

In Indonesia, people use phones to record videos of protests and violence. These videos can spread quickly on social media, like how a funny meme can become famous in minutes. When more people see the same video, they feel it's real, and they might join the protest too, just like when your friend shows you a cool trick, and now you want to try it.

Activism is like starting a big cheer at a game. The louder the cheer, the more people notice and join in. Visual evidence helps that cheer get louder by showing others what’s happening, making them believe it, and maybe even take action too.
