Served as a center for clarification of issues suspected to be hoaxes.
In 2015, a Facebook group named FAFHH (Anti Slander, Provocation, and Hoax Forum) was created by Harry Sufehmi as a crowdsourced hoax-busting effort, i.e. a platform where members would work together to debunk disinformation. Since then, FAFHH has turned into MAFINDO (Indonesian Anti Hoax Community), a community with over 80,000 members, 17 chapters across the country and more than 300 volunteers. MAFINDO has built offensive and defensive anti-hoax capabilities through fact-checking activities, a machine-assisted hoax-busting mechanism, multi-channel counter-propaganda and the production of anti-hoax education materials. Among other initiatives, MAFINDO’s hoax-buster team maintains the Global Hoax Database (GHD), developed a machine-to-machine interface for it ([Yudistira](https://web.archive.org/web/20201229203056/http://yudistira.turnbackhoax.id/)) and released ASE, an [Anti-Hoax Search Engine](https://web.archive.org/web/20201229203056/http://search.turnbackhoax.id/) that allows users to surf on hoax-free websites.
