Fenomena penyebaran hoax dan hate speech yang terjadi di dunia digital telah membawa kecemasan dan keprihatinan di dalam masyarakat. Banyak informasi hoax, hatespeech dan cyberbullying yang disebarkan oknum melalui Social Media dan Instant Messaging yang cenderung berbau SARA, provokatif dan bombastis. Ironisnya tidak sedikit pula masyarakat yang tanpa berpikir panjang langsung menshare informasi tersebut bahkan mereproduksi ulang informasi tanpa memikirkan dampak yang ditimbulkan setelahnya. Media digital saat ini didominasi oleh remaja yang lahir di zaman millennium yang merupakan “digital natives” yaitu generasi yang tidak dapat terpisahkan oleh dunia digital. Jika generasi ini tidak diberikan amunisi yang cukup untuk memerangi digital hoax, maka dikhawatirkan akan menimbulkan masalah dan bahaya laten. Menyikapi hal ini Prodi Ilkom UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta melakukan kampanye anti-hoax dengan target pesertanya adalah mahasiswa yang merupakan remaja akhir dan dewasa awal yang dikemas melalui kegiatan ADUIN Fest 2017 “Nyepik Becik” (Pikirkan Apa yang Kamu Katakan)” pada 17-18 Mei 2017. Metode pendekatannya dilakukan partisipatif dengan langsung mempraktekkannya melalui penciptaan karya-karya kreatif berupa Print-Ad, TVC dan film pendek oleh peserta yang dikompetisikan.

Harapannya anak-anak muda calon penerus bangsa ini menjadi cerdas, kritis dan mendapatkan pemahaman yang baik sehingga dapat memerangi digital hoax yang dapat mengancam persatuan dan kesatuan bangsa.
