This data reveals that 30.2% of individuals in Indonesia still lack digital literacy skills.

There are four pillars that form the framework, including digital capability, digital ethics, digital security, and digital culture. These aspects are the ideal components to define the formation of people's digital literacy skills.

In this case, ASN is expected to be able to be at the forefront in implementing the four pillars of digital literacy. When having qualified digital skills, ASN is required to be able to reduce the spread of negative content and even hoax information spread on social media or other digital platforms. In addition, ASN is also required to maintain the security of personal data and select any information received or published. This can be achieved when ASN pays attention to digital use in everyday life and at work such as not using unclear public WiFi, and not easily giving permission for platform publishers to access information data contained in a device.
