Digital Surveillance and Ethics as a New Risk Factor Within the Context of Regulations on the Internet Law

Abstract

Surveillance, as an important matter in the modern era, continues its existence as a former phenomenon of the digital world with new forms. Another output of the modern era is the ever-increasing and diversified phenomenon of risk. In this study, internet regulations were discussed as digital surveillance practices in the context of concepts such as "risk" "supervision" and "control" based on Lyon's "Surveillance Society" theory. While internet regulations are addressed as a governmental action and an effort to gather information about people, they are also considered a new risk factor for the surveillance practice and surveillance parties in the modern era. Based on these statements, the aim is to reveal how concepts such as risk and supervision, which are the main antecedents of today's digital surveillance, can be associated with ethical values such as "confidentiality" and "privacy", which are also subject to legal regulations. It is identified in what ways the internet regulations are considered a surveillance practice and how digitalized risks meet with surveillance actors at the point of digital surveillance risk. On the other hand, the relationship was shown by demonstrating how the risks as surveillance actors can be categorized in terms of state and individual. The study examines the relationship between the regulatory framework and ethical elements in a descriptive way as well as shedding light on today's digital surveillance. The existence of risks is common to lawmakers, who are the surveillance actors, and people under the law and this legitimizes digital surveillance.
