This article aims to analyze the welfare of crew members in the context of legal protection, which is reviewed in more detail from the perspective of the implementation of the maritime employment agreement in Indonesia. This is based on the poor execution of marine employment agreements in Indonesia and should pay more attention to the welfare of crew members.  This research will be prepared using normative juridical research (legal research), which is research focused on examining the application of rules or norms in positive law in Indonesia.  The assessment process is carried out by analyzing several related regulations, namely the Commercial Code, Laws, Government Regulations, and Ministerial Regulations. The results show that the implementation of sea work agreements in Indonesia involves various parties, such as employers/ship agents, skippers, crew members, and harbourmaster as a means of fulfilling the rights and obligations of workers and employers. In the context of legal protection, crew members in Indonesia have the right to work protection in the form of welfare, occupational safety, and occupational health.

This study aims to analyze the impact of deepfake content on the level of public trust in visual information on social media. Using a between-subjects experimental design, the study involved 20 active social media user respondents in Indonesia (aged 18-45 years) who were randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group (exposed to deepfake content) and a control group (exposed to original content). Data were collected through a questionnaire measuring three dimensions of trust: (1) perceived authenticity of the content, (2) source credibility, and (3) emotional impact. The t-test results showed significant differences (p < 0.05) between the two groups, with the deepfake group having lower trust scores on all dimensions (mean score: 2.4 vs. 4.2 for content authenticity; 2.8 vs. 4.4 for source credibility; 2.7 vs. 4.0 for emotional impact). Regression analysis revealed that education level (? = 0.35) and frequency of social media use (? = -0.27) significantly affected the level of trust. Pearson correlation findings also showed a strong positive relationship between perceived authenticity of content and trust levels (r = 0.72, p < 0.001). This study concludes that exposure to deepfake content significantly reduces public trust in visual information, with the effect compounded by intensive social media use and moderated by education level. The implication is that evidence-based media literacy strategies are needed to raise public awareness about deepfake technology, as well as stricter regulation of synthetic content on digital platforms.
