Viral campaigns that shame peeping behavior have been effective on TikTok (e.g., "Awas Ngintip" challenges where users confront fake voyeurs). This should be scaled.

Indonesia boasts one of the largest and most active digital populations in the world. However, rapid internet penetration has outpaced comprehensive digital literacy.
