A movement against terrorism started by young internet users in Indonesia is gaining momentum.

The Facebook page for 'Indonesia Unite' has more than 140,000 members in less than two weeks, and its movers believe that it is going to be bigger and become a key to fight terrorism in Indonesia. But can a message on Twitter or Facebook really make a difference?

Speakers: Alexander Abimanyu, supporter, Indonesia Unite; Enda Nasution, Indonesian blogger; Panji Pragiwaksono, rapper and tv presenter; Elisheva Wiriaatmadja, co-owner and writer; Dr. Jason Wilson, lecturer in Digital Communications, University of Wollongong
