The Improvement of Digital Literacy to Secure Data and Privacy

Indonesian Society are the highest internet and media social users in the world but this is not comparable to the quality of digital literacy skills. Therefore, this makes Indonesian society quite vulnerable to exposure to hoaxes and disinformation, involvement in cyberbullying, being the target of fraud in cyberspace, and prone to the theft of personal data. The Law on Personal Data Protection, which is a state guarantee to the protection of personal data, human rights, and privacy, is not effective enough to prevent cybercrime and personal data leakage. Moreover, the government has not yet prepared derivative regulations for the Law on Personal Data Protection and the Personal Data Protection Institution. Awareness of protecting personal data must start with every individual. Because the most important thiHu Bung in fighting cybercrime must start with the digital technology users themselves. For this reason, digital literacy programs in Indonesia must be improved by the government in collaboration with experts, academics, industrialists, religious figures, cultural figures. And community participation. Besides that, digital literacy must be introduced from an early age, starting with basic education, so that digital technology users can analyze the truth of information and be aware of personal data protection and digital security.
