This research aims to investigate the role of social media as a space for political participation in supporting the anti-corruption movement. By highlighting the Indonesian context, this research aims to understand how social media influences public opinion, mobilizes support, and mobilizes collective action in fighting corrupt practices. The urgency of this research lies in the need for a deeper understanding of how social media can be an effective tool in the anti-corruption movement in the digital era. Through qualitative research methods focusing on online data analysis, the main findings highlight the dominance of hashtags and memes in stimulating discussion, spreading messages and coordinating anti corruption actions in social media. These findings provide valuable insight into how society is actively fighting corruption through digital platforms and demonstrate the potential of social media as a strategic tool to expand the space for political participation to create a cleaner and more transparent government. Thus, this research underlines the importance of using social media to gather support and increase public participation in the anti-corruption movement. However, the main challenges that still need to be overcome are the limited data content and further exploration to understand the complex dynamics of eradicating corruption through social media.
