Literasi digital memainkan peran penting dalam membentuk identitas diri remaja terkait dengan kompleksitas penggunaan media sosial. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki hubungan antara literasi digital kritis dan identitas diri serta ekspresi diri remaja di media sosial dengan menggunakan metode Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan mencari data dari basis data Scopus, ScienceDirect, PubMed, BASE, dan Consensus untuk penelitian yang diterbitkan antara tahun 2015 hingga 2025 dengan kata kunci “literasi digital,” “remaja,” “pembentukan identitas,” dan “media sosial.” Dari 412 artikel penelitian, enam artikel penelitian utama dimasukkan ke dalam studi setelah mengevaluasi kualitas metodologisnya menggunakan alat CASP, sesuai dengan protokol PRISMA 2020. Dari hasil sintesis, jelas bahwa literasi digital memiliki dampak positif pada pembentukan identitas autentik, harga diri, dan ekspresi diri yang reflektif di media sosial. Ditemukan bahwa semakin tinggi tingkat literasi digital di kalangan pemuda, semakin tinggi pula tingkat kesadaran etis, pengelolaan privasi yang lebih baik, dan resistensi yang lebih tinggi terhadap tekanan sosial di media digital. Oleh karena itu, jelas bahwa literasi digital kritis merupakan bidang kunci yang perlu ditangani agar tercipta generasi yang reflektif, etis, dan autentik dalam penggunaan media digital.
