In the 2024 presidential election, political activity on social media is very intensive, with the aim of attracting people's attention and voting power towards presidential candidates. However, the low literacy level of Indonesian society often triggers negative behavior such as hate speech. This research aims to describe the behavior of hate speech on social media towards the 2024 Presidential candidate of the Republic of Indonesia. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach. The research results show that there are still many individuals who use social media to express their dislike of presidential candidates in negative ways, including through hate speech. Many social media users are unaware of the legal implications of their actions. This situation requires public vigilance and wisdom in using social media to avoid negative things. To overcome this problem, digital literacy is not enough to just focus on models such as critical consuming, functional prosuming, and critical prosuming. This research suggests adding a moral values ​​model that includes two main indicators: ethical behavior and motivation skills. Hate speech can appear either in the form of hoaxes or true information, so a moral value-based approach is very necessary to increase people's awareness and responsibility in interacting in cyberspace. This research emphasizes the importance of more comprehensive digital literacy education to combat the spread of hate speech on social media during the 2024 presidential election.

Indonesia is a State of Law, this is stated in the explanation of the 1945 Constitution which states that; "The Indonesian state is based on law and not based on mere power." Law is a rule or regulation that regulates society. All behavior and actions of its citizens must be based on law, therefore, Indonesia is a country of law, obliged to carry out legal functions consistently as a means of upholding justice.  As times progress, of course crime becomes more developed and organized. One of the problems that often comes to the surface in people's lives is crime in general, as currently we often encounter delinquency in the form of narcotics abuse. In Article 1 Paragraph 1 of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 35 of 2009 concerning NARCOTICS, the meaning of narcotics, namely substances or drugs derived from plants, either synthetic or semi-synthetic, which can cause a decrease or change in consciousness, loss of taste, reduce or eliminate pain, and can cause dependence, which are differentiated into groups as attached in the Law - The Narcotics Law is often used outside of medical and scientific purposes, which in the end will become a danger for the user, which in the end can also have an influence on the social order of the people of the nation and state. Combating narcotics abuse is not an easy thing to implement but the state is determined to eradicate it. Narcotics abuse covers all levels of society, including poor, rich, old, young and even children. Narcotics abuse has increased from year to year, which ultimately harms the nation's future cadres. One of the efforts made by the government to tackle the narcotics problem is through improvements in legal regulations. This improvement is very necessary because the influence of narcotics is very large on the survival of a nation.
