Digital Access Expands, Komdigi Calls for Stronger Public Digital Literacy
Published
Internet access and digital services in Indonesia continue to grow. More people are able to use the internet, both in cities and in regional areas. These developments open up new opportunities in education, the economy, and public services.
The Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi) is calling for public digital literacy to be strengthened. Digital literacy is the ability to use digital technology safely, wisely, and responsibly. This capability includes how to find accurate information, protect personal data, and recognize misleading content.
Komdigi considers that broad access alone is not enough. The public also needs to understand how to make good use of the internet. Without such abilities, people become more vulnerable to online fraud, the spread of hoaxes, and cybersecurity risks.
Therefore, strengthening digital literacy is expected to proceed in step with equitable infrastructure development. With a combination of equal access and adequate digital skills, the public can gain the maximum benefits from digital technology.
