摘要 本文详细阐述了 Facebook 和 WhatsApp 的功能，以及它们在印度尼西亚邦加反采矿活动中使用的可能性和局限性，特别关注沟通过程的参与和线下与线上的交织。本文报告的研究有助于更深入地了解印度尼西亚歧视性自然资源开采背景下社交媒体与政治抗议之间的关系。 2017年，由村民、活动人士、旅游经营者和潜水员组成的反对中国公司PT Mikgro Metal Perdana在邦加采矿活动的联盟成功地将PT MMP赶出了邦加。社交媒体增强了反采矿运动的动员、沟通、知识转移、透明度和团结。通过 WhatsApp，在需要采取紧急行动时，可以促进信息的快速传输和沟通。 Facebook 群组 Save Bangka Island 不仅提供了一般信息，还增强了团结、凝聚力并创建了一个“想象的社区”。然而，我们还发现，社交媒体网站是分层空间，村民（主要受影响群体）因缺乏互联网接入而被排除在外。
ABSTRACT This article elaborates on the functionalities of Facebook and WhatsApp, and the possibilities and limitations of their usage in the anti-mining campaign in Bangka, Indonesia, with special focus on the participation and offline–online intertwining of communication processes. The research reported in this article contributes to a deeper understanding of the relationship between social media and political protest in the context of discriminatory natural resource extraction in Indonesia. In 2017, the alliance against the mining activities of the Chinese company PT Mikgro Metal Perdana in Bangka, which consisted of villagers, activists, tourism operators and divers, succeeded in ousting PT MMP from Bangka. Social media enhanced mobilisation, communication, knowledge transfer, transparency, and solidarity in this anti-mining campaign. Through WhatsApp, the rapid transmission of information and communication was facilitated when urgent action was needed. The Facebook group Save Bangka Island not only provided general information but also enhanced solidarity, cohesion and the creation of an “imagined community.” However, it is also found that social media sites are stratified spaces where villagers – the primary affected group – are excluded because of their lack of Internet access.
