Buzzer (internet)
Buzzer (Indonesian: buzzer, pendengung) is an Indonesian term used to refer to a person who works to "buzz" certain message or perspective in regards to a certain issue, opinion, or brand, in order to make the opinion as natural as possible.[1][2][3][4] Buzzer attempts to influence public opinion to align with their cause. Scholars have differing opinion in how one should be regarded as buzzers in terms of their use of accounts: some argue buzzers exclusively refer to sockpuppet operators;[5] while others argue that buzzers may use influencer accounts, if not both.[2] Scholars also differ in terms of compensation: some argue that buzzers refer only to those paid by money;[4] while others argue that buzzers can have non-monetary compensation such as position, social relations, patronage, as well as conviction and commitment to the cause.[6][7] Buzzers who are involved in the propagation of perspective related to elections, political party, as well as contentious government and corporate policies are often referred to as political buzzer (Indonesian: buzzer politik).[2]
