<![CDATA[The development of digital technology has significantly transformed how university students interact, access information, and express themselves in digital public spaces. However, this transformation also brings an increased risk of digital media misuse, which may lead to legal consequences, particularly in relation to violations of the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE). This article aims to examine the urgency of UU ITE literacy among students as a preventive effort to enhance legal awareness and protect digital rights. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method based on literature review, analyzing academic references, scholarly journals, and relevant regulations. The findings indicate that although students are active users of social media and digital technology, their understanding of the substance of UU ITE remains limited. This lack of comprehension makes them vulnerable to digital law violations, especially regarding ambiguous articles that can potentially restrict freedom of expression. Digital legal literacy encompasses not only knowledge of the UU ITE’s content but also critical skills in evaluating information, understanding legal boundaries, and maintaining ethical communication in cyberspace. Therefore, strengthening digital legal literacy is essential for students not only to avoid violations but also to serve as agents of change who promote ethical, inclusive, and responsible legal awareness.]]>
