Edukasi Menggunakan Bahasa yang Baik dalam Bermedia Sosial pada Masyarakat Desa Sukoharum

Abstract

The development of social media provides convenience for the community in communicating and disseminating information. However, the irresponsible use of social media can lead to various problems, such as hate speech, the spread of hoaxes, and the use of language that offends ethnicities, religions, races, and intergroup relations (SARA). This community service activity aims to enhance the public's understanding of the importance of using good, polite, and responsible language in social media. The activity was conducted in Sukoharum Village, Adiluwih District, using educational and participatory methods thru counseling and discussions. The material provided includes digital communication ethics, the dangers of hate speech, how to recognize hoaxes, and the importance of maintaining tolerance in social media communication. The results of the activity show that the community is beginning to understand the importance of filtering information before sharing it and being more careful in using language on social media. This activity is expected to raise public awareness in creating safe, harmonious digital communication and avoiding social conflicts due to improper language use.
