Social Media and Public Participation in Exposing Corruption in Bandar Lampung
Keywords:
social media, corruption, transparency, public accountabilityAbstract
Corruption remains a major concern within the society of Bandar Lampung, making it essential to examine the role of social media in promoting transparency and public accountability. This study explores how social media serves as a platform for citizens to report corruption cases, disseminate information, and foster collective awareness of its social impacts. In addition, the study highlights several challenges, such as unequal access to technology, resistance or negative responses from certain authorities, and information fragmentation that may hinder constructive public dialogue. Using a literature review approach, this research analyzes a range of relevant sources to evaluate both the effectiveness and the limitations of social media in combating corruption. The findings are expected to provide strategic recommendations for optimizing social media as a social and political instrument that enables stronger collaboration between society and government, thereby supporting the creation of a cleaner, more transparent, and sustainable governance system.
