This study examines the short story "Click that Kills" by Taufiqurohman to reveal the position of humans in the increasingly dominating digital algorithm environment. Using a descriptive qualitative approach that focuses on structural analysis and literary psychology based on Freud's psychoanalytic theory, this study thoroughly analyzes the intrinsic elements as well as the inner conflicts of the characters. The findings of this study show that the AIDA system poses a profound existential crisis, where individual freedom is threatened due to systemic information manipulation. The characters of Dito and Genta experience a serious conflict between id, ego, and superego when dealing with the figure of "Shadow User" who is a real symbol of the shift in human dignity through raw data. In terms of structure, the storyline conveys a deep social critique of the loss of human self-control in cyberspace. This research shows that this short story is a premonious criticism of the importance of maintaining the essence of humanity in the midst of the prevalence of mechanical algorithms. The phenomenon emphasizes that digital technology can potentially alienate the moral consciousness of individuals in modern society.

Advances in information technology increasingly require communities to adapt to digital communication tools, particularly email, which functions as a key digital identity for account registration, information exchange, and online transactions.

The utilization of Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS) by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia has an important role in encouraging digitalization of transactions and improving financial recording and reporting. The background of this study is the need for MSMEs to adapt to the development of digital payment technology, especially in the midst of accelerated digitization triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Although QRIS provides various benefits, such as ease of transactions and automatic recording, there are still a number of obstacles such as limited digital literacy, uneven infrastructure, and concerns related to cybersecurity, especially in remote areas. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach to SMEs that have adopted QRIS in several regions in Indonesia. Data were collected through field observations, and documentation studies related to the use of QRIS in business activities. Data analysis was conducted thematically to explore in-depth understanding of the experiences, challenges, and benefits felt by MSME actors in the use of QRIS. The results showed that QRIS makes it easier for MSMEs to process payments and automatic digital transaction recording, thereby increasing the accuracy and transparency of financial statements. However, limited access to electricity, digital devices, and digital security literacy are significant barriers to optimal implementation of QRIS. The security aspect of digital transactions is an important concern for MSMEs, who need further education and technical support. Thus, strengthening digital literacy, improving infrastructure, and strict cybersecurity regulations are urgently needed to encourage wider and inclusive adoption of QRIS among MSMEs in Indonesia.

Cyberbullying is a form of online violence that is increasingly widespread in the digital era, with serious impacts on adolescent mental health, such as depression, stress, and anxiety. This study aims to examine the impact of cyberbullying on adolescent mental health through a literature review covering 10 accredited journals indexed by SINTA, Google Scholar, and DOAJ. The method used is a literature review with a comparative analysis approach to previous research findings. The results of the study indicate that victims of cyberbullying often experience decreased self-esteem, emotional disturbances such as shame and fear, and decreased motivation to learn. These disturbances can then increase the risk of depression among adolescents. Decreased self-esteem and increased anxiety also impact their academic performance and social engagement. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that cyberbullying is a significant factor threatening adolescent mental health. Therefore, serious attention is needed from various parties, including schools, families, and communities, to provide protection and psychosocial support to victims. Recommended interventions include digital literacy education, family support, and counseling programs that can help adolescents overcome the negative impacts of cyberbullying and prevent lasting effects on their mental health.

Freedom of expression is a fundamental human right, yet it is not absolute, as it may be restricted under certain conditions in accordance with international law, such as the protection of reputation, national security, and public order. In Indonesia, this right is guaranteed by the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and its derivative regulations. However, the rapid development of information and communication technology has reshaped the landscape of public discourse. The digital space, while facilitating easier access to and dissemination of information, also presents challenges, including hate speech, misinformation, cyberbullying, and the potential for criminalization due to ambiguous regulations.To respond to these challenges, the Regional Board of Nasyiatul Aisyiyah (PDNA) Semarang organized a community service program in the form of a public dialogue titled “Freedom of Speech: Between Rights and Risks” on August 9, 2025, at the Hall of the Central Java Provincial Archives and Library Service. This activity was carried out through a participatory approach by academics who are also members of PDNA, together with the PDNA Semarang board. Two speakers were presented, Dr. Mochamad Riyanto, S.H., M.Si., a legal expert from Universitas 17 Agustus (Untag) Semarang, and Aris Mulyawan, Chair of the Alliance of Independent Journalists (AJI) Semarang. The dialogue produced three main findings: first, the need for legal awareness so that freedom of expression does not lead individuals into legal problems; second, the importance of digital literacy to reduce the spread of hoaxes and hate speech; and third, the urgency of building safe digital spaces through collaboration among communities, media, and educational institutions. The discussion emphasizes that freedom of expression in the digital era must be understood as both a right and a responsibility, requiring a fair regulatory ecosystem and continuous digital literacy enhancement

This study analyzes the impact of implementing Indonesia’s Law No. 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection (PDP Law) on cybersecurity in the e-business sector.

This study aims to examine the influence of accounting information technology and accounting information system protection on cybersecurity accounting. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through a structured survey of 100 respondents, selected using purposive sampling, and analyzed to assess the relationship between the research variables. The research instrument consisted of three main constructs: Accounting Information Technology (X1), Accounting Information System Protection (X2), and Cybersecurity Accounting (Y), each measured using 16 question items. Instrument validity testing revealed that 44 out of 48 items met the validity threshold, with correlation coefficients exceeding 0.300, while reliability analysis indicated Cronbach’s Alpha values greater than 0.60 for all variables, confirming internal consistency. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression. The results demonstrate that accounting information technology has a positive and statistically significant effect on cybersecurity accounting (coefficient = 0.264; p < 0.05), suggesting that the integration and optimization of technology in accounting processes contribute to enhanced cybersecurity practices. Conversely, accounting information system protection exhibits a negative and statistically significant effect on cybersecurity accounting (coefficient = -0.149; p < 0.05). This unexpected finding indicates that certain protective measures within accounting information systems may, under certain conditions, hinder cybersecurity performance, potentially due to implementation complexity, inadequate configuration, or user resistance. The regression model as a whole is statistically significant (F = 18.577; p = 0.000), with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.277. This implies that the two independent variables together explain 27.7% of the variance in cybersecurity accounting, while the remaining 72.3% is attributable to other factors not examined in this study.

This study aims to analyze the influence of technological literacy, accounting information system maturity, and technology-based auditing on cyber risk in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia. The background of this research is based on the increasing adoption of digital technology by MSMEs, particularly in the management of financial information and business operations. However, this digital transformation has not been fully matched by system readiness or human resource competency, creating the potential for significant digital threats, including cyber risks that can impact business continuity. This study used a quantitative approach with a survey method involving 90 MSME respondents who have utilized digital accounting systems in their business activities. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the latest version of SPSS software. The results show that technological literacy and accounting information system maturity have a negative and significant effect on cyber risk. This means that the higher the level of technological literacy and the more mature the accounting information system implemented, the lower the level of cyber risk faced by MSMEs. On the other hand, technology-based audits did not show a significant impact on cyber risk, indicating that the effectiveness of audits using a technology approach is still suboptimal in the context of MSMEs. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 52.3% indicates that the variation in cyber risk can be explained by the three independent variables. This finding has practical implications for MSMEs and policymakers, namely the importance of strengthening technology and information systems capacity as a cyber risk mitigation strategy. Furthermore, there is a need to improve understanding and implement technology-based audits in a more structured manner to have a more significant impact on MSME digital security.
