Abstract

The rapid advancement of information technology has significantly increased the use of social media as a platform for communication, information exchange, and social interaction across global communities. However, the growing intensity of digital activities has also generated various legal and ethical challenges, including misinformation, defamation, privacy violations, intellectual property infringements, and other forms of cybercrime. These challenges highlight the importance of strengthening digital legal literacy among social media users to enhance their understanding of rights, obligations, and responsibilities in digital environments. This community service program aimed to improve digital legal literacy and promote responsible social media use through an international online community education initiative. The activity was conducted via Zoom Meeting on December 23, 2025, involving participants from diverse academic and social backgrounds through international collaboration with Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL), Malaysia. The program employed educational presentations, interactive discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and participant evaluation activities. The results indicated an improvement in participants’ understanding of legal aspects of social media use, digital communication ethics, personal data protection, and the legal consequences of online activities. The program also enhanced participants’ awareness of responsible, ethical, and informed behavior in digital spaces. Therefore, digital legal literacy represents an essential strategy for fostering a safe, responsible, and sustainable digital culture in the information technology era.
