This study aimsmto examineiin depthvthe perspective of information technology law and human rights on the phenomenon of political buzzers on social media within the context of digital development in the era of globalization. This research is motivated by the rapid advancement of information technology, which has brought significant changes in various aspects of society, including the political sphere that increasingly utilizes social media as a means of communication and information dissemination. The phenomenon of political buzzers has become a controversial issue, particularly during election periods, as it is often associated with the spread of inaccurate information, defamation, hate speech, and the manipulation of public opinion that may harm society and disrupt social stability. This study employs a normative legal research method using statutory and conceptual approaches. The results indicate that political buzzers generally operate under the justification of freedom of expression as part of human rights. However, such freedom is not absolute and must be limited to prevent violations of others' rights and to maintain public order. In this regard, information technology law in Indonesia, particularly through regulations governing digital activities, plays an important role in controlling deviant buzzer practices. Nevertheless, the absence of specific regulations explicitly governing political buzzers has resulted in less optimal law enforcement. Therefore, strengthening regulations and increasing public awareness in the wise use of social media are necessary to create a healthy, responsible, and sustainable digital ecosystem.

The research method used is a literature review with a descriptive-analytical approach to bioethics and moral philosophy literature. The results of the study indicate that based on deontological ethics, the application of IVF can be considered moral if it respects human dignity, does not treat embryos as mere objects, and is carried out with intentions that are in accordance with human moral obligations.

This study examines the use of digital Qur’an applications at Pondok Pesantren Al-Asy‘ariyyah Kalibeber by focusing on the relationship between technological practicality and the preservation of the printed mushaf. Employing a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving pesantren leaders, teachers, active students, and senior students. The findings reveal that the digital Qur’an is accepted as a supporting learning medium due to its practicality and efficiency, particularly for students with sufficient digital literacy. However, the printed mushaf remains the primary reference in Qur’anic learning as a form of respect for its sacred value, the pesantren’s scholarly tradition, and the limited digital literacy among senior students and teachers. This study demonstrates that the utilization of the digital Qur’an in the pesantren context is selective and contextual, serving as a complementary tool rather than a replacement for the mushaf. These findings indicate that pesantren are capable of responding to technological developments in a balanced and tradition-oriented manner.
