The rapid integration of digital platforms in education has transformed students’ communication patterns, particularly in digital language interactions. This transformation has raised new challenges related to digital language politeness among junior high school students. This study aimed to examine the effect of digital platform utilization on the digital language politeness of students at SMP Bina Dharma. The study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational research design. The sample consisted of 64 students of SMP Bina Dharma who were selected as research respondents. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire measuring digital platform utilization as the independent variable (X), which included intensity of use, types of platforms, and purposes of use, and digital language politeness as the dependent variable (Y), which covered word choice, communication style, and digital interaction ethics. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS), supported by descriptive statistical analysis and validity and reliability testing. The results indicated that digital platform utilization had a positive and statistically significant effect on students’ digital language politeness, with a path coefficient of 0.97, a t-statistic value greater than 1.96, and a p-value less than 0.05. The coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.95, indicating that digital platform utilization explained 95% of the variance in students’ digital language politeness, while the remaining variance was influenced by other factors outside the model. The research instruments were proven to be valid and reliable, with Cronbach’s Alpha and Composite Reliability values exceeding 0.80. Therefore, this study successfully demonstrated that appropriate and responsible utilization of digital platforms significantly contributed to the improvement of digital language politeness among students at SMP Bina Dharma. The findings provided practical implications for schools in developing ethical digital literacy policies.
