Consumer protection in e-commerce transactions in Indonesia faces significant challenges due to the lack of specific regulations that clearly define the responsibilities of digital platforms. Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection (UUPK) serves as the primary legal framework, but it has not adequately addressed the complexities of digital transactions, leading to legal uncertainty in resolving disputes and safeguarding consumer rights. This gap in the law leaves consumers vulnerable, as their rights are not clearly protected in the digital environment. One of the main issues is the low level of consumer legal literacy in Indonesia, which exacerbates the problem. Many consumers are unaware of their rights or how to enforce them, making it difficult for them to seek redress in case of problems with e-commerce transactions. This lack of understanding creates an environment where consumers are often left without proper recourse when facing issues such as faulty products, delayed deliveries, or breaches of personal data security. This study aims to identify the barriers to consumer protection in e-commerce and propose solutions to address these challenges. The study suggests that more comprehensive and adaptive regulations are needed to define the responsibilities of e-commerce platforms clearly. These regulations should include effective complaint mechanisms, stronger consumer data protection policies, and a framework for resolving disputes quickly and transparently. Additionally, the study emphasizes the need for stricter supervision and more robust law enforcement to ensure that digital trading platforms comply with consumer protection laws. The findings highlight the importance of creating a safe, fair, and trusted digital trading ecosystem in Indonesia, where consumers feel secure and are empowered to demand their rights. By implementing these recommendations, Indonesia can improve consumer protection in the digital economy, ultimately fostering a more sustainable and transparent e-commerce environment.  

This community engagement article aims to enhance the legal awareness and digital literacy of students at SMA Negeri 1 Wangon in addressing the growing phenomenon of sexual violence in digital spaces, particularly in the era of artificial intelligence. The primary issue faced by Generation Z today is a lack of legal understanding and weak digital ethics, which makes them vulnerable to becoming both victims and perpetrators of online sexual violence. The program employed a participatory approach using methods such as observation, group discussions, case simulations, and evaluation through pre- and post-tests. The results indicate that the legal and digital literacy education program significantly improved participants’ understanding of legal frameworks, including the Law on Sexual Violence Crimes (UU TPKS) and the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE). The program also fostered awareness of digital ethics and the importance of personal data security. The implementation process revealed high levels of enthusiasm among students, particularly during the creation of anti-sexual violence digital campaigns, which were later published on the school's social media platforms. This program had a positive impact on students’ ability to recognize, prevent, and respond to digital sexual violence, while also encouraging the formation of a legally conscious student community that can serve as a driving force for digital cultural transformation within the school environment.

Many people utilize social media to interact, including students who are the most technologically literate. Apart from having a positive impact on its users, social media also has a negative impact. One of the negative impacts of social media is the increased risk of personal data security. The purpose of this study is to analyze the level of awareness of students in Yogyakarta regarding the protection of personal data on social media. The method used is mixed method, surveys were distributed to respondents, namely students from various schools in Yogyakarta. Researchers also conducted interviews with 15 participants to get a more in-depth picture. This research examines the level of understanding and awareness of students in Yogyakarta regarding how they understand data sharing behavior, privacy settings and their perceptions of threats or risks in cyberspace. The results showed that the majority of students have a high level of awareness regarding basic privacy measures, but they also have a poor understanding of the threats and risks associated with sharing personal data.The majority of students rarely update their privacy settings. They only use the default settings built into social media. The implication of the study is the need to integrate digital literacy programs that focus on data security and privacy into the school curriculum. The conclusion is that there is awareness among students regarding the importance of protecting personal data, but more efforts are needed to improve students' knowledge in digital privacy management. Further research is needed to assess the long-term impact of educational interventions on privacy-conscious behavior in the digital world.
