Dependence on social media is also increasing for obtaining news, information about issues or matters, communication and interaction, and much more. According to statistics released by Data Reportal, the number of social media users in Malaysia until January 2023 is estimated at 26.8 million. This situation clearly indicates that social media has a significant influence on contemporary society and serves as the main reference for daily life.

Media literacy and information overload According to Livingstone (2003), media literacy is the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and communicate in various forms of media. Therefore, in general, media literacy can be summarized as the ability to understand, interpret, and critically assess various forms of media content, including news articles, videos, images, advertisements, and live broadcasts or streaming on social media. Thus, for an individual to possess media literacy, they must be capable of creating media content, conveying messages, distinguishing between facts and opinions, and identifying inaccurate information and propaganda. In the current digital era, people worldwide seem to be immersed in a sea of information. The constant flow of information from various sources creates a significant challenge in differentiating accurate and reliable information from false ones.
