Abstract

This community service initiative aimed to enhance digital legal literacy concerning child protection and social media regulations in Indonesia and Malaysia. The program was conducted on July 6, 2026, in Terengganu, Malaysia, and involved 35 students and two teachers. Using an educational and participatory approach, the activities included legal presentations, discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and case-based learning. The materials addressed online risks, cyberbullying, personal data protection, age restrictions, and the responsibilities of parents, schools, governments, and digital platforms. Evaluation was based on participant engagement, discussion, and the ability to identify digital risks and relevant legal obligations. The reported activities highlighted the importance of integrating legal education, digital literacy, and stakeholder collaboration in promoting safer social media use among children. The initiative also demonstrated the potential of international university collaboration to support continuing digital safety education. Further evaluation using structured learning assessments is needed to establish the extent of changes in participants' knowledge and understanding.
