EDUKASI LITERASI DIGITAL: ETIKA BERMEDIA SOSIAL BAGI PARA SISWA DI SMP BAITUL MAAL

Abstract

The more sophisticated the technology, the more advanced the development of social media. This has not been matched by the wise attitude of the community in surfing social media. The rise of hate speech by social media users is a clear example of the lack of awareness and wisdom in using social media. Therefore, the National Police Chief issued a circular regarding the handling of hate speech Number: SE/6/X/2015. Teenagers are known to talk a lot but don't think much about the consequences, therefore education about ethics in social media is very necessary to be instilled in these teenagers. This is done in order to minimize the use of social media that is not in accordance with existing rules, as it is known, that there is an ITE Law which provides limits for users when they behave and express themselves on social media. If it is not in accordance with the rules, it is possible to be caught in a criminal act. There is a need for digital literacy education for social media users so that awareness grows for good and right social media.
