<![CDATA[Digital media plays a crucial role in shaping Sosial awareness regarding the issue of bullying, which increasingly occurs within virtual spaces. This critical descriptive qualitative study analyzes the role of the Sosial media platform TikTok in building anti-bullying awareness through the case study of the activism and subsequent death of Timothy Anugerah Saputra, a student at FISIP Udayana University, Bali. The findings indicate that while TikTok serves as an effective advocacy platform for spreading empathy through storytelling, its virality features (Duet/Stitch) ironically accelerated systematic and fatal cyberbullying.
