JAKARTA - A quiet, little-known village in Pati regency, Central Java, has grabbed national attention for coming under a “digital attack” by Indonesian netizens.
Sumbersoko village in Sukolilo district went viral after netizens began tagging insults and hateful expressions around the area on Google Maps, following the murder of a car rental businessman in the district earlier in June.
