But the internet never forgets. The removal triggered a backlash. The became a rallying cry for those who felt that Indonesia’s digital public square was being sanitized by intolerant mobs, while simultaneously being a victory chant for those who believed they were protecting Budaya Timur (Eastern civility) from Western degeneracy.
