Big Data can be utilized in various ways, one of which is the handling of negatively charged Internet content. Along with the increasing dissemination of negatively charged internet content, especially hoaxes, the Ministry of Communication and Information facilitated various kinds of stakeholders in handling the hoax using the utilization of Big Data technology. Internet content monitoring carried out so far is through manual crawling, controlling negative content named Trust + based on Domain Name Server (DNS System) technology where the blocking mechanism can only be done by using a domain name and / or server name . By utilizing AIS machines that adopt Big Data technology, it can speed up the process of crawling negative content that has been done manually. The machine was not provided with a "killer weapon" site, social media accounts, news portals, and others. This study was conducted through a qualitative approach to describe the use of Big Data technology on AIS machines in monitoring negative internet content. The results of this study outline the use of Big Data technology in terms of handling negative internet content, especially dissemination of hoaxes.
