A questionnaire was used for primary data collection and 327 of students from Faculty of Education at Universiti Teknology MARA (Puncak Alam and Dengkil) participated in this study.

Besides that, there are low positive relationship between digital literacy, digital access while moderate positive correlation between digital rights with the ethical dissemination of information on social media. With the moderation of peer influences, the ethical of dissemination among the students is reducing while the moderation effect of peers is high.
