Melalui kegiatan ini, Diskominfo SP berharap para siswa dapat lebih sadar akan risiko dan tanggung jawab dalam bermedia sosial. Literasi digital bukan hanya tentang teknologi, tetapi juga tentang karakter, etika, dan kesadaran sosial.

Ardymulya Iswardani Highlights the Importance of Responsible Social Media Use at Regina Pacis High School on Tuesday, July 15, 2025. Ardymulya Iswardani, a First Expert Computer Analyst in the field of E-Government Implementation, served as a guest speaker during the School Orientation Week (MPLS) at Regina Pacis High School, Surakarta. The event, held in the 2nd-floor auditorium, carried the theme "The Importance of Using Social Media Wisely."

Ardymulya began the session by stressing the need for caution when navigating the world of social media. He reminded students that while social media can be a platform for self-expression, it also carries risks if used without ethics and a sense of responsibility. He urged students to be aware that provocative content or posts containing elements of hate speech or discrimination can have serious consequences—ranging from online conflicts to leaving a permanent digital footprint that could affect their future.

He also introduced channels for reporting cases of digital bullying, emphasizing that such tools should be used wisely and not misused to spread false accusations. The students were also educated on common types of digital fraud often seen on social media, such as fake giveaways, bogus job offers, and misleading promotions.

“It’s essential to maintain respectful communication in digital spaces,” Ardymulya emphasized. “Social media should not be used merely to seek validation. Unhealthy usage can lead to social pressure and take a toll on mental health.”

Through this event, the Surakarta Department of Communication and Information Technology (Diskominfo SP) hopes that students will become more aware of the risks and responsibilities that come with using social media. Digital literacy goes beyond understanding technology—it also involves building character, practicing ethical behavior, and developing social awareness.
