The research method used is a quantitative cross-sectional approach. The research sample consists of 600 students from seven provinces in Indonesia, selected using purposive sampling techniques. The research instruments used are tested scales for hoax behavior and toxic disinhibition. The data is analyzed using simple regression with the assistance of SPSS version 25.00.
