Abstract

This paper discusses the freedom of expression that must be supported by increasing literacy to face the digital era. Freedom of expression is an individual right guaranteed by the constitution. Differences in literacy levels will affect differences in individual control in the process of interpreting existing information, especially information circulating on social media. Access to information and social support may increase. Several cases were found in the realm of freedom of expression such as misuse of social media. This article discusses some of the new reorientations of learning that are considered to affect vision, responsibility, social sensitivity and logical ability, and honesty. This paper recommends the role of the government, the community, and parents to ensure freedom of expression and fulfill literacy needs so that all people are ready to face the digital era.
