Despite being a new media and an arena for contesting vernacular memories of the 1965/66 massacre, YouTube is also often used to advance the State narrative, as seen in how YouTube users replicate the film Penumpasan Pengkhianatan G30S/PKI (The Treachery of G30S/PKI) annually to promote anti-communist agendas, as well as how Indonesian filmmakers title their works that deal with the 1965/66 massacre. More broadly, the monumental memory of 1965/66 on YouTube involves three actors: state actors, film communities, and vigilantes. Cet article traite du processus problématique de remédiation de la mémoire sociale sur et via YouTube, à propos du massacre de 1965/66 en Indonésie. Bien que ce soit un nouveau média et un lieu de contestation pour la mémoire vernaculaire du massacre de 1965/66, YouTube est aussi souvent utilisé pour promouvoir le récit Étatique, comme le montre la façon dont les utilisateurs de YouTube reproduisent chaque année le film Penumpasan Pengkhianatan G30S/PKI (La trahison de G30S/PKI) pour faire valoir des visées anticommunistes, ainsi que la façon dont les cinéastes indonésiens intitulent leurs œuvres traitant du massacre de 1965/66. Plus largement, la mémoire monumentale de 1965/66 sur YouTube implique trois acteurs: les agents de l’État, les communautés cinématographiques et les milices.
