The legal counseling activity on the technical aspects of preventing and reporting Ilegal online lending in Ngawen Village, Muntilan District, was motivated by the increasing number of Ilegal online lending cases that harm the community due to low legal and digital literacy. Rural communities often become victims because they do not understand the differences between legal and Ilegal loans and are unaware of the proper reporting mechanisms. This activity aims to provide residents with legal understanding regarding online lending regulations, improve digital literacy so that the community can identify Ilegal applications, and train residents to be courageous and capable of reporting Ilegal online lending practices to the relevant authorities. The implementation methods included socialization through interactive lectures, distribution of handout materials, and question-and-answer sessions. The activity was attended by 15 residents of Ngawen Village and featured two presenters from the Faculty of Law, Universitas Muhammadiyah Magelang. The results showed an increase in participants’ understanding of the characteristics of Ilegal online lending, its socio-economic impacts, and the reporting procedures to the Financial Services Authority (OJK), the Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo), and the police. Participants also gained a better understanding of the importance of protecting personal data and verifying the legality of financial applications before using them. In conclusion, this counseling activity successfully enhanced the community’s legal awareness and digital literacy, fostering a more vigilant and legally empowered society capable of protecting itself from Ilegal online lending practices in the digital era.

This study examines Indonesian as a pillar of academic identity and the urgency of revitalizing students' language attitudes and ethics in the digital era. The rapid development of digital communication has influenced students' language practices in academic contexts, which tend to lead to the use of informal, impolite language that does not reflect academic ethics. This study aims to describe students' language attitudes, academic communication patterns, and the level of awareness of language ethics in the use of Indonesian in higher education. This study used a qualitative approach with participatory observation techniques and in-depth interviews with students. The results show that students basically have normative knowledge of good and correct Indonesian, but this knowledge has not been consistently internalized in academic communication practices, especially in the digital space. The dominant digital communication culture has weakened students' sensitivity to politeness, ethics, and language professionalism. Furthermore, Indonesian language learning in higher education is still more oriented towards the technical aspects of writing than the formation of academic attitudes and identities. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of revitalizing Indonesian language learning that is contextual, reflective, and oriented towards strengthening students' attitudes, ethics, and academic identities in the digital era.

This research aims to explore how Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) is applied to enhance the sales performance of local rice products in the midst of competition with well-established national brands. Intensified competition arises due to the increasing presence of rice products from other regions as well as premium national brands that offer added value. These market dynamics underscore the importance of strategic marketing communication, especially in designing messages, selecting appropriate media channels, and applying the right consumer engagement approach to strengthen brand awareness and loyalty.A descriptive qualitative method was employed, utilizing a case study approach on a local rice producer in Tabanan Regency. Data collection involved in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation related to promotional and sales activities, which were then analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion-drawing stages.The results demonstrate that the coordinated use of IMC elements such as advertising, sales promotion, public relations, digital marketing, and word-of-mouth has contributed significantly to improving brand perception and market competitiveness. Ultimately, this study suggests that adopting a consistent and well-structured IMC strategy is essential for local rice producers to sustain their presence and achieve growth amidst the dominance of national rice brands.

Islamic education in the global era faces various complex problems and challenges, ranging from conventional teaching methods, varying teacher quality, to curriculum unpreparedness in addressing social and technological dynamics. The globalization of information and culture also significantly influences students’ behavior and identity, requiring digital literacy, critical cultural awareness, and resilience in religious values to remain aligned with Islamic principles. This study employs a library research approach with a descriptive qualitative method, analyzing various books and scientific journals related to Islamic education in the global era. The findings indicate that the problems of Islamic education include the gap between traditional methods and 21st-century needs, teachers’ unpreparedness in using technology, and the lack of integration between religious education and contemporary social contexts. Other challenges involve education management, family and community involvement, and policy-making that responds to global changes. To address these issues, recommended solutions include revitalizing an integrative curriculum that combines Islamic values with 21st-century skills, utilizing technology wisely, enhancing teacher competence, strengthening collaboration between schools, families, and communities, and developing media literacy and inclusive pedagogical approaches. Implementing these strategies is expected to produce students who are competent, adaptive, character-driven, and globally competitive without losing their moral and spiritual identity. These findings contribute to the development of Islamic education that is relevant, adaptive, and sustainable in the global era.

This study aims to analyze the optimization of the Yoona Squad Leader wellness community program in strengthening the brand awareness of Yoona Women. The increasing awareness of feminine hygiene and the growing concern regarding the safety of menstrual products serve as the foundation of this research, considering that more than half of Indonesian women report irritation and discomfort related to conventional sanitary pad use (Manoppo, 2022; Putinah et al., 2020). In addition, laboratory findings by the Indonesian Consumers Foundation (YLKI, 2015) revealed traces of chlorine and dioxin in many commercial sanitary pads, indicating potential reproductive health risks. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach through observation, interviews, and active participation in the marketing division of PT Yoona Digital Indonesia during August–December 2025. The findings show that the Yoona Squad Leader program effectively strengthens all stages of the 5A Customer Path—Awareness, Appeal, Ask, Act, and Advocate—as conceptualized in Marketing 5.0: Technology for Humanity (Kotler, Kartajaya, & Setiawan, 2021). Community-based engagement drives emotional bonding, advocacy behavior, and value-based loyalty through empathy-driven communication. This program successfully empowers women to become advocates for menstrual health awareness while reinforcing brand credibility and consumer trust. The study highlights the strategic importance of community-based marketing as a sustainable approach to building human-centered loyalty and enhancing brand equity in the digital wellness industry.

The development of deepfake technology, which utilises artificial intelligence to manipulate images, videos and sounds, has led to a serious threat of sextortion. In the Indonesian context, high internet penetration and low awareness of digital security increase the risk of this crime. This research analyses the legal consequences of the misuse of deepfake technology in sextortion based on the Electronic Information and Transaction Law (UU ITE). Using normative juridical methods and descriptive-qualitative analysis, this research examines the legal challenges faced in enforcing sanctions against this crime and provides recommendations to strengthen the legal framework in Indonesia. The results show that there are gaps in the legal framework that need to be addressed, as well as the importance of education and capacity building of law enforcement in dealing with cybercrime. In addition, the development of more sophisticated deepfake detection technology is expected to be a solution in tackling this abuse in the future.

Advances in financial technology require people to have adequate digital financial literacy in order to be able to use financial services safely and wisely. However, there are still many community groups that face limited understanding, including the wife of a retired National Police officer in Megamendung, Bogor. This Community Service Program (PKM) is designed to increase their knowledge, awareness, and skills in managing finances through digital services. The implementation method includes socialization, counseling, interactive discussions, and practical guidance in the use of digital financial applications such as e-wallets and online banking services. Evaluation of activities was carried out through observation, question and answer sessions, and measurement of the level of understanding before and after socialization. The results showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of the concept of digital financial literacy, including benefits and risks to watch out for, such as digital fraud and irregular financial management. In addition, participants also experienced an increase in confidence in using digital financial services for daily needs. This program is expected to encourage family financial independence and improve the economic welfare of the wives of retired POLRI officers in Megamendung, Bogor, as well as become a model for community empowerment in facing the challenges of the digital era.

The rapid development of digital technology has increased the risk of song copyright infringement, thereby requiring effective and adaptive law enforcement mechanisms. Song copyright, as part of intellectual property rights, is protected under Law Number 28 of 2014 on Copyright, with certain infringements classified as complaint-based criminal offenses. This study aims to analyze the handling of criminal cases of song copyright infringement by Civil Servant Investigators at the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law in West Java and to evaluate the effectiveness of their enforcement practices. The research employs a normative-empirical method with a descriptive-analytical approach, combining statutory analysis with empirical data obtained through interviews and field observations. The findings reveal that case handling is conducted through structured stages, including complaint submission, preliminary examination, mediation, and follow-up actions. Mediation constitutes the primary mechanism for dispute resolution, reflecting the application of the ultimum remedium principle and a restorative justice approach. Although the procedural framework has been implemented in accordance with applicable regulations, enforcement effectiveness remains constrained by limited human resources, budgetary limitations, insufficient technical capacity, low public legal awareness, and inadequate inter-agency coordination. These results underscore the importance of strengthening institutional capacity and enhancing enforcement effectiveness to ensure sustainable protection of song copyright.

The development of information technology has significantly transformed commercial activities, particularly through the emergence of electronic transactions or e-commerce. The convenience offered by digital trading systems provides various benefits for both consumers and business actors, such as time efficiency, ease of access, and broader market reach. However, behind these advantages, there are also several risks that may harm consumers, including discrepancies between product descriptions and actual goods, delivery delays, and potential online fraud. This study aims to analyze the legal protection for consumers in electronic transactions and the responsibilities of business actors within digital commerce systems. This research employs a normative legal research method using statutory and conceptual approaches. The findings indicate that consumer legal protection in electronic transactions has been regulated in various laws and regulations; however, in practice, several challenges remain in its implementation. Therefore, strengthening regulations, enhancing supervision of business actors, and increasing public legal awareness are necessary to create a safer electronic transaction system and ensure legal certainty for consumers.

This community service program was conducted at Madrasah Aliyah/Pondok Pesantren Al-Mansyuriyah, Tangerang, to provide students with structured experience in English news writing and digital publication through blogs. The program responded to three main partner needs: limited experience in structured English news writing, limited use of blogs for publication, and the need to strengthen students’ digital literacy and writer identity. The activity was designed as a participatory and practice-based training program through three workshops: EFL News Writing, Blogging for EFL News Writing, and English Journal Writing. The evaluation used a pre-survey, a post-survey, observation, and documentation of student blog posts. The pre-survey involved 46 students; 31 students (67.4%) had written English news articles, but 42 students (91.3%) had never used blogs or written blog posts. The post-survey involved 45 students; all respondents (100%) reported that they understood ethical blog publication, and 42 students (93.3%) reported that they could use blogs, images, links, and videos to support their writing. The program produced six student blog posts on pesantren activities, National Santri Day, Teacher’s Day, new student admission, and literacy events. These findings indicate that blog-based genre pedagogy can provide an authentic medium for introducing EFL news writing, digital publication, ethical awareness, and students’ emerging writer identity. Further mentoring is needed to evaluate and improve the linguistic accuracy, news structure, and multimodal quality of students’ writing.

Indonesian language education plays a strategic role in strengthening national identity and preserving cultural values amid the pressures of globalization. In the global era, the dominance of foreign languages, digital media, and transnational cultures poses challenges to the existence of national languages and local cultural identities. This study aims to analyze the role of Indonesian language education as an instrument for reinforcing national identity and cultural awareness in formal educational settings. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a literature review approach, examining scientific journals, policy documents, and relevant educational studies published within the last five years. Data were analyzed through content analysis to identify patterns, themes, and conceptual relationships related to language education and cultural identity. The findings reveal that Indonesian language education not only functions as a medium of communication but also serves as a vehicle for transmitting national values, cultural narratives, and collective identity. Learning materials that integrate local wisdom, literature, and cultural texts significantly contribute to students’ cultural awareness and national character development. Furthermore, Indonesian language education plays an important role in fostering critical literacy, cultural resilience, and a sense of belonging among learners in a globalized context. The study implies that strengthening Indonesian language education through curriculum development, contextual learning, and teacher competence enhancement is essential to sustaining national identity and cultural continuity in the era of globalization.

This study is grounded in the growing concern over the weakening of students’ critical literacy skills and cultural awareness in higher education, particularly in the context of rapid digitalization and the dominance of global discourse. Local cultural traditions, especially those rooted in Maumere society, have not been optimally utilized as meaningful academic literacy resources in Indonesian language learning. This research aims to explore how Maumere cultural traditions can be integrated as sources of critical literacy to strengthen students’ interpretative, analytical, and reflective abilities. Employing a qualitative research approach, data were collected through classroom observations, in depth interviews with students and lecturers, and documentation of learning materials in Indonesian language courses at Universitas Muhammadiyah Maumere. The findings reveal that traditional texts, narratives, rituals, and oral expressions from Maumere culture contain rich linguistic, ethical, and symbolic meanings that support the development of critical reading and writing skills. The integration of cultural texts encourages students to engage more deeply with academic discourse while simultaneously reinforcing local identity and cultural sensitivity. This study implies that culturally grounded literacy practices not only enhance academic competencies but also contribute to the preservation of local wisdom within higher education learning frameworks.

The development of electronic commerce (e-commerce) in Indonesia has grown rapidly alongside the increased use of digital technology by the public. While offering convenience and efficiency in transactions, e-commerce also presents various legal challenges that may harm consumers, such as unclear product information, personal data breaches, and weak dispute resolution mechanisms. These conditions highlight the importance of consumer legal protection in digital transactions. This study aims to analyze consumer legal protection in e-commerce transactions, focusing on existing challenges and legal remedies based on Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection and Government Regulation Number 80 of 2019 on Trade Through Electronic Systems. The research employs a qualitative method with a normative juridical approach. Data were collected through literature review of primary legal materials, including laws and regulations, as well as secondary materials such as journals, books, articles, and other relevant sources. The findings indicate that consumer legal protection in Indonesian e-commerce transactions has an adequate legal foundation. Law Number 8 of 1999 serves as the main basis for protecting consumer rights, while Government Regulation Number 80 of 2019 strengthens regulations in response to digital commerce developments. However, implementation remains challenging, particularly regarding supervision and consistent law enforcement. Therefore, stronger government involvement, increased responsibility of e-commerce businesses, and improved consumer awareness are needed to achieve effective and sustainable consumer protection.

Recommendations are also directed toward reinforcing regulations, enhancing the effectiveness of law enforcement, and intensifying public awareness campaigns to reduce the incidence of digital fraud in Indonesia.

The giveaway phenomenon in the digital era has become a popular strategy to increase interaction on social media. However, this popularity is also used by irresponsible individuals to commit fraud under the guise of giveaways. This article aims to identify the modus operandi of giveaway fraud, provide guidance on recognizing the characteristics of fraud, and present preventive measures to avoid it. The methods used include literature review of digital fraud cases, analysis of cybercrime patterns, and interviews with digital literacy experts. The results show that the fraud mode often uses fake accounts that resemble official organizers, asks for personal information or payment of certain fees, and offers rewards that are too fantastic to lure victims. Low digital literacy is one of the main factors in the high number of victims of this fraud. By raising public awareness through education about the characteristics of fraud and methods of verifying information sources, the potential for victims can be minimized. In conclusion, systematic prevention efforts and active participation of the community in disseminating related information are important to protect internet users from the threat of giveaway fraud. This article recommends improving digital literacy programs and strengthening regulations against cybercrime as a long-term step.

The development of social media has made influencer parenting content one of the important sources of reference for the younger generation in understanding parenting. This study aims to examine the meaning of influencer parenting content for the younger generation in building future parenting. The research uses a qualitative approach with a literature review method on various scientific publications relevant to the topics of influencers, parenting, and digital media. The results of the study show that the younger generation interprets influencer parenting content not only as a source of practical information, but also as a reference for values and an ideal representation of the role of parents. The process of interpretation takes place actively and reflectively, influenced by personal experiences, family backgrounds, digital literacy levels, and socio-cultural contexts. In addition, the credibility of influencers and the style of delivering content also affect the acceptance rate of the audience. Influencer parenting content shapes a parenting discourse that emphasizes emotional awareness, empathic communication, positive parenting, and concern for children's mental health. Thus, the future parenting of the young generation is understood as a dynamic, adaptive, and constantly evolving social construction, with digital media as one of the main shaping factors.
