However, it has a negative impact as a communication medium because it contains harsh and inflammatory words or comments, does not respect others' privacy rights, spreads messages that contain discriminatory elements of SARA, and plagiarizes writing, pictures, or photos that protect copyright. Other undesirable behaviors include cybercrime, addictive behavior, the proliferation of pornography, fake news, hate speech, bullying, and negative global environmental impacts such as terrorism, radical teachings, narcotics, and hedonistic lifestyles. The adolescent age group is the most concerning to both perpetrators and victims. As a result, it is critical to understand the ethics of social media communication among adolescents through digital literacy, where the ability to use social media is not limited to knowledge but also stresses attitudes and ethical behavior in expressing ideas positively.
