This study uses a sample of 1000 tweets or conversations on each hashtags and uses Social Network Analysis (SNA) with the Netlytic tool which is able to provide quantitative values of communication networks, through the social network structure of #BebaskaniBHRS and #NegaraDamaiTanpaFPI. This study reveals how the network structure and what factors are carried out by anonymous political actors in carrying out computational propaganda. The results of this study reveal the hashtags activism #BebaskaniBHRS is much more capable of mobilizing the public and is able to generate greater impressions than #NegaraDamaiTanpaFPI. This is because #BebaskaniBHRS has a computational propaganda message in the form of a loaded language with a clear frame and the choice of words directly invites the Twitter public to get involved through a retweet another finding in this research shows computational propaganda movement in hashtag activism was carried out by large groups consisting of anonymous accounts and bot accounts on other side online media coverage about the trending of these hashtag's activism was also able to increasing public attention. Tagar (#) memiliki peran penting dalam mengumpulkan dukungan pengguna Internet terhadap suatu opini dan nilai.
