The rapid pace of technological advancement in the 21st century, referred to as the “digital age” or “information age,” has led to an increase in the diversity of legal risks and issues in the internet and information technology sector. With each passing day, more and more users integrate into digital platforms and social media systems, and the number of digital infrastructures storing personal or corporate data rapidly increases, expanding the goals of those seeking to obtain data from the virtual environment for various purposes. On the other hand, the internet, social media, and other virtual platforms have become important tools for individuals or legal entities to promote their products and services. However, causing harm to individuals or institutions by providing misleading information through these tools has also become widespread.
