The internet is one of the media for this information technology which has the fastest development compared to other technologies (Hakim & Raj, 2017). Technological developments are developing very rapidly over time in both developing and developed countries, especially Indonesia (Raodia, 2019). Alterations in technology developed at an equally quick pace throughout time, running concurrently with advances made in scientific understanding. The advancement of such technology is unquestionably highly beneficial to human life in that it makes it simpler to carry out each and every activity (Anggraeni et al, 2022).
