🗣️ The speaker intends to share five essential ethics necessary when engaging on social media platforms.

Five Key Social Media Ethics
1️⃣ Content Review and Privacy Protection: Before posting, critically review content to ensure no personal data (yours or others') is shared, especially sensitive information like ID card photos (KTP).
2️⃣ Critical Thinking Before Sharing (Kritis & Pikir): Users must be critical of received information and think before sharing to avoid becoming distributors of hoaxes, disinformation, and misinformation.
3️⃣ Acknowledging Sources (Apresiasi Sumber): Properly credit or mention the original source (for quotes, music, theories, etc.) as a sign of respect for others' ideas and work.
4️⃣ Mindful Language Use: Pay attention to the style of language used, as written communication lacks tone, making it easy for messages to be misinterpreted, especially when containing hate speech or harsh phrasing.
5️⃣ Account Clarity and Authenticity: Social media accounts should have clarity in representation, preferably by using a real picture, to combat the prevalence of fake or anonymous accounts that spread negativity without accountability.
