Abstract
The development of science and technology encourages most people to follow the changes that occur in the world including the use of the internet as a daily necessity. The internet has become inherent in human life, especially in the millennial generation today because it makes it easier to communicate and exchange information, including in Indonesia. However, the impact caused in the use of social media is not always realized by the user so that it can lead to something that is not desired. Therefore, this study aims to determine how the impact of the use of social media affects the civic disposition of users, especially the millennial generation. The research approach used is a qualitative research approach with descriptive research methods. The researcher collected data through observation, interviews, and documentation studies. The results of the study indicate that social media can support the strengthening of national integration because of some of its functions. The culture of mutual cooperation and the love of the country can grow and develop in the community, especially social media users. Then the researcher gave recommendations based on the findings of the research, namely the need for an anticipatory and selective attitude for all parties, especially social media users and other interested parties.
