These are photos of a toy gun owned by a 17-year-old boy.
It was found at the scene of the school attack in Jakarta last November.
Written on it - the names of Western far-right extremists such as Brenton Tarrant and Alexandre Bissonnette.

Nearly a hundred people were injured in several bomb explosions at the school, including the young suspect. 
He was not affiliated with any terrorist groups, according to the police,   but they say his actions appear to have been inspired by white supremacists. 
The teenager is now in jail facing multiple charges of assaults. The worry at Indonesia’s counterterrorism agency is - he might not be alone.

"For us, this case should not be underestimated as an isolated incident. More teenagers may be exposed to these ideas online, and that threat will grow as digital communities expand."

Indonesia,  home to one of the world’s largest Muslim populations, has suffered deadly attacks by Islamist militants.
Now, a new concern is growing.  
Over the past three years, officials have recorded a rise in exposure to far-right extremism - especially online.

"The data show that over the past three years, particularly from 2023 to 2025, there has been a very significant increase in the exposure to such radical ideologies, intolerance, extremism, and even terrorism."

In online chatrooms, often connected to computer games, such ideology can radicalize across borders and cultures.   
It is thought the idea of an underdog becoming an action man is particularly attractive.
This teenager did not want to be identified.

"One of the games I played has a voice chat. I play with people from other countries, and that’s where I heard racist language being used. […] Such content can be so addictive for young people, it could spark our curiosity to get involved in violence in real life."  

02:33
In 2025, authorities sent 70 children to rehabilitation for allegedly planning violent attacks inspired by far-right movements. 
They had joined online groups to share plans – and some had even made explosives at home.   
 
Analysts say white supremacists are not targeting Indonesians directly.
But the algorithm means that content arrives here too. 
So, experts say Indonesian authorities should look beyond Islamist threats.

"We must abandon that bias about what happened in Indonesia. I mean, what happened in Indonesia is mostly done by the Islamists. But it's a very typical bias, so this also affects our approach. We must be more careful about it, so we don't target only exclusively to one group, but we must also target a larger audience."

The government is drawing up ways to work with teachers and parents to help prevent such radicalization.  
It also plans to follow neighbor Australia and restrict social media access for minors, from March.
