Rekonstruksi Etika Digital: Integrasi Teori Computer-Mediated-Communication (CMC) dan Prinsip Komunikasi Qur’ani

Abstract

Digital disruption has shifted human interaction patterns toward a Network Society, where digital space is not merely a transmission medium, but a new living space that redefines identity and authority. However, this phenomenon is accompanied by ethical crises such as post-truth, disinformation, and cyberbullying. Western communication theories rooted in Computer-Mediated-Communication (CMC) have successfully diagnosed the psychological mechanisms behind these phenomena descriptively, yet they have not provided a prescriptive normative framework for user behavior. This study aims to bridge this gap by reconstructing digital ethics through the harmonization of Western psychological analysis and Islamic theology. This study employs a qualitative approach using the library research method. The results indicate that psychological vulnerabilities in the digital space can be addressed through the implementation of Quranic communication principles. It is concluded that the integration of these two perspectives establishes a robust digital ethics, wherein digital activity is no longer viewed as a value-free space, but as a theological mandate (amanah) demanding validity, propriety (adab), and social responsibility.
