Live streaming on social media has changed the way people share information and entertainment, providing greater convenience and access than conventional broadcasting. However, this change also brings challenges, especially regarding ethics and its impact on young audiences. Content on social media is often poorly monitored, making it easy to find sensational or inappropriate content, such as violence, hoaxes and unethical behavior. This is exacerbated by platform algorithms that prioritize content that triggers emotional reactions to increase popularity. Conventional broadcasting has strict rules to maintain the quality and ethics of content, while live streaming on social media often relies solely on platform policies which are not always effective. As a result, many content creators try to attract attention in extreme ways, which can influence the behavior and mindset of young audiences. This research discusses the differences between conventional broadcasting and live streaming on social media, as well as the importance of the responsibilities of platforms and content creators in maintaining ethics. Apart from that, digital literacy for young audiences is needed so that they can be more critical in choosing content. In conclusion, cooperation between content creators, social media platforms and society is needed to ensure social media becomes a safer and more beneficial place for all.
