Privacy invasion and disinformation: Navigating the challenges of information and communication technologies

Abstract

The rapid development of information and communication technologies has brought many benefits to modern society, but it has also created new challenges for personal privacy and the accuracy of information. This study proposes various measures that can be taken by individuals, social media companies, and governments to protect personal data and combat disinformation. These measures include promoting awareness of privacy and disinformation issues, establishing technical standards and regulations for data protection, and conducting audits to ensure compliance with them. The study also evaluates Türkiye’s activities in this context and recommends further improvements. Overall, this study aims to contribute to understanding the challenges posed by personal privacy and disinformation in the digital era and provides practical recommendations for addressing these challenges.
