Siantari Rihartono, M.Si.}, keywords = {Media Sosial, X (Twitter), Partisipasi Politik, Generasi Muda}, url = {https://digilib.uin-suka.ac.id/id/eprint/71671/}, abstract = {X (Twitter) is widely utilized by the younger generation due to its capacity for rapid and real-time information access, as well as its function as a relatively safe space for political discourse. This condition has the potential to enhance youth political participation, which remains relatively low, through dynamic interaction and broader dissemination of political information. This study aims to examine how the use of X contributes to the enhancement of political participation among young people, with a specific focus on the Narasi Jabodetabek Community. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with community members and observation of political activities on X. The findings indicate that several features{--}such as tweets, retweets and replies, following and followers, direct messages, search, trending topics, and threads{--}play significant roles in fostering political engagement. Tweets facilitate the direct expression of political opinions, while retweets and replies encourage discourse and the circulation of political content. The following and followers features strengthen political networking, direct messages support action coordination, the search function enhances access to political information, trending topics raise awareness of current issues, and threads enable comprehensive discussions. The utilization of these features is influenced by various factors, including political stimuli, individual characteristics, social background, political environment, and political education. Among these features, retweets and replies emerge as the most frequently employed by young users, as they allow for the widespread dissemination of political messages and foster interactive conversations around emerging political issues.} }
