Abstract

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have significantly transformed the digital information ecosystem, particularly through the emergence of deepfake technology that enables highly realistic visual manipulation. This phenomenon poses serious challenges in distinguishing authentic from manipulated content, especially on social media platforms such as Facebook. This study aims to analyze the role of digital literacy in recognizing and responding to deepfake content, as well as to examine its patterns of dissemination and impact on public trust in visual information. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using in-depth interviews with experts from the Indonesian Anti-Slander Society (MAFINDO) and active Facebook users, complemented by digital observation of circulating deepfake content. The findings reveal that limited digital literacy significantly contributes to users’ inability to critically evaluate visual information, leading to the unintentional spread of misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation. Deepfakes are also strategically used for political propaganda and identity manipulation, further undermining trust in digital information. This study contributes to the literature by positioning digital literacy as a critical evaluative and ethical competency in addressing AI-driven visual disinformation within a platform-specific context. Strengthening digital literacy through targeted interventions is therefore essential to enhance users’ critical awareness and resilience against manipulated content in the digital environment.

Abstract

The development of social media has changed the patterns of interaction and the way fans express their support for K-Pop idols. Instagram fanbase accounts have become an important communication space in building relationships between fans and idols. This study discusses the forms of interaction and communication strategies developed by the Instagram fanbase account @haechanoonaa in interpreting fan support for Haechan NCT, with the aim of analyzing communication forms, support strategies, and the dynamics of fan identity formation. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method through the perspective of Herbert Blumer's symbolic interaction theory. Data collection techniques included online observation, in-depth interviews with fanbase administrators and account followers, and documentation of digital communication activities. The results of the study show that the @haechanoonaa account builds personal, interactive, and emotional communication through the use of visual symbols, informal language styles, and persuasive content. The interactions formed give rise to a sense of collective support, strengthen solidarity, and build a fan community identity. Thus, fanbase accounts serve as symbolic communication spaces that shape meaning through the exchange of symbols and build fan identity through engagement with idols on social media.
